N2 - The article deals with the problems of interpreting English ornaments (embellishments, graces) of the second half of the 17th century in the process of their evolution. The authors consistently analyze the recommendations of the early English musicians Edward Bevin, ChristopherSimpson, Matthew Locke, John Playford, and Henry Purcell. Emphasis in this study is allottedto the first ever published in England full table of ornaments with their execution writtenby Christopher Simpson in his The Division-Violist (London, 1659). Detailed considerationhere is given to the ornament named “Shaked Beat”. It should be noted that the first full table“Marques des Agréments et leur signification” in France was enclosed only in D’Anglebert’sPièces de Clavecin (c1689). For comparison, recommendations of the performance of ornaments are provided by some Italian, German and French composers and theorists of this time,such as Emilio del Cavalieri, Guillaume-Gabriel Nivers, Jean Rousseau, Gilles Jullien, ÉtienneLoulié and Johann Gottfried Walther. A critical revision of scholarly publications on the problems of this study beginning from Edward Dannreuther and Arnold Dolmetsch to the presenttime has been carried out. Serious inaccuracies were found in the works of modern researchers and in reference and encyclopedic publications, including The New Grove Dictionary ofMusic and Musicians and Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart.
