Abstract:

In the past few years the economic pressures besetting live performance have grown dramatically in large part for reasons discussed in various papers in this collection, in part for reasons that were not anticipated. In this preface I will attempt to review some pertinent developments in recent years, and to discuss some of the reasons that led matters to develop as they did. (p. 1-12)
