Intro -- Table of Contents -- Preface -- Chapter One -- Musical interpretation -- Hermeneutics of the Cantigas -- On Judas (2002) for Choir and Orchestra -- Imagination play in hermeneutical re-creation -- How to (per)form the incomparable -- Chapter Two -- The Score Array -- Alban Berg's Piano Sonata op. 1 -- Franz Liszt, Aux Cypres de la Villa d'Este -- The Performer as a Musicologist -- Artur Schnabel and the harmonic functions -- Schonberg, Sechs kleine Klavierstucke, No. 6 -- Chapter Three -- Artistic Research -- Tell yourself it's a waltz -- Kinesics analysis in the investigation of emotional expression in music performance -- Acoustic space as a vital criterion of performance (analysis) -- Chapter Four -- An outline of the ontology of Musical Performance -- Performance and music creation -- Cross-cultural determinants of music interpretation -- The decline of the Performer -- Notes on Contributors -- Illustrations -- Tables -- Index.
Summary: This collection of essays highlights different questions concerning music theory, interpretation, and performance. Organized into four chapters, the first section looks into interpretation from a hermeneutic perspective, whereas the second analyses the application of this knowledge in musical practice. The discussion turns, in the third part, to a new field of music theory broadly labelled as performance studies. Focused on physical and psychological events, this section broaches fundamental issues such as gesture, bodily movement, expression, emotion, a whole set of processes that act within the framework of performance. The final section addresses the artistic practices in the 21st century across present-day cultural contexts. Proposing a space for reflection in which one tries to imagine the relation between the scientific field and the interpretative process, this volume reflects the central issues of research in performance analysis, establishing connections between different disciplines, methodologies and research trends. It will be of essential interest to researchers, musicians and performers, and music students.
