Abstract
Performance theory is a part of music theory in its larger understanding. It is not classical music theory, which unfortunately and implicitly focuses on harmony, a miniature part of theoretical topics in music (comprising theory of motives, of rhythms, of tunings, of physical modeling of sound, orchestration, composition, algorithmic composition, representation, etc.).
A hard beginning maketh a good ending.
