Poorly medlar tree

Hi
My medlar tree is suffering from leaves with brown spots on them and leaf drop. From what I've read I think it might be quince leaf blight and if that's the case then as far as I'm aware I need to gather the fallen foliage and burn it. If I do this will the problem resolve itself eventually? I've read that it's a good idea to prune the affected branches in winter but pretty much one half of my tree is now bare from leaf drop and I know that older medlars don't respond well to heavy pruning, so I'm not sure what to do. I've attached some photos for reference. Any advice greatly appreciated!
