Style performance

Hello!

Im very interested to learn about historical style performance. There is many musical elements that varies depending of the musical period. I would like to know mainly characteristics of barroque, classical and romantic periods, and how to perform the notes and articulations acording the period. I hope being clear. Also i would like a good book recomendation where iIcan learn about this. Thanks in advance!

Quite a broad question, are you after information regarding a specific instrument in these eras?

As for books, reading biographies of influential composers of the era helped me a bit, 90% of the information however would come from teachers as we're either studying the piece or learning to play it.
