write a 500 word essay about the following prompt:
– Begin with a brief paragraph summarizing Lynch’s main argument about historically informed performance (HIP), then use the rest of your answer to address the relationship between HIP and Nicholas Cook’s discussion of the functions and limits of music notation (in the assigned chapter titled "An Imaginary Object"). How do the debates around HIP detailed by Lynch relate to Cook’s assertions that "there are aspects of the music about which the notation is silent" (p. 53) and that "notation conserves music" but also "conceals as much as it reveals" (p. 55)?
