Another naive question...
HIP gets a lot of attention here, but I'm curious about the performers
themselves.
At what point in a performer's training and/or career does one typically
start take up older instruments and study the other issues that go along
with HIP? Is this something that almost any college music performance major
would study? I understand that the elite performers are specialists, but
I'm thinking more of young people who are looking to get into a music
career.
