When we speak of HIP (Historically Informed Performances), we think more of the Baroque era. Though it isn't unusual to talk about it referring to the classical era or to attribute it to romanticism. Why not take it a little further?
And what does actually change, is different or is being maintained from the past when we speak about the 20th century?

She continued her studies at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln (Cologne, Germany) with a Bachelor on the modern violin under Ariadne Daskalakis's tutelage while receiving baroque violin lessons from Richard Gwilt.
