Performance Practice Review (PPR) is a blind, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study of Western musical performance practices. It is not confined to any historical period. PPR originally was published bi-annually from 1988 to 1997, with Roland Jackson serving as Editor. All issues existing in print appear on this site.

Contributions to PPR accepted from 2006 onward are published exclusively online, on a continuous basis. Robert Zappulla is the current Editor. Claremont Graduate University normally is the exclusive copyright holder for new submissions.

Libraries automatically are granted permission to include links to the PPR home page in their online catalogues.

Guidelines for Contributors

Proposed articles (minimum 3000 words; no maximum) should be submitted to the Editor (see below) via E-mail in the form of MS Word files (conforming to The Chicago Manual of Style, fifteenth ed.), included as attachments. Anonymous copies will be sent by the Editor to the appropriate Advisory Board members for review and comment before the Editor decides for/against publication.

Articles are accepted in English, French, Italian, German, Dutch, and Spanish (non-English articles should be accompanied by an English summary). The author of each accepted article will be asked to provide an abstract for RILM.

Supplementary materials (sent as separate files) that amplify, and will be linked to, the primary text are encouraged.
