H.R. and the Formation of an Early Music Aesthetic in The Netherlands (1916–1921)

Herman Rutters was one of Ina Lohr's teachers at the Muziek Lyceum in Amsterdam. His thought was very important for the development of the idea of Early Music as a performance practice in the Netherlands between the two World Wars.
An early version of this article was given as a paper during the Roots of Revival conference at the Horniman Mueum, London, in 2014. A later version was published in the Tijdschrift Oude Muziek as 'Rutters oude muziekesthetiek' (see: Tijdschrift voor Oude Muziek, 2015-1, 20-26). It is presented here in an expanded form.
