Vital Performance Historically Informed Romantic Performance in Cultural Context

Vital Performance Historically Informed Romantic Performance in Cultural Context

Historically Informed Performance or HIP has become an influential and exciting development for scholars musicians and audiences alike. Yet it has not been unchallenged with debate over the desirability of its central goals and the accuracy of its results. The author suggests ways out of this impasse in Romantic performance style. In this wide-ranging study pianist and scholar Andrew John Snedden takes a step back examining the strengths and limitations of HIP. He proposes that many problems are avoided when performance styles are understood as expressions of their cultural era rather than as simply composer intention explaining not merely how we play but why we play the way we do and why the nineteenth century Romantics played very differently. Snedden examines the principal evidence we have for Romantic performance style especially in translation of score indications and analysis of early recordings finally focusing on the performance styles of Liszt and Chopin. He concludes with a call for the reanimation of culturally appropriate performance styles in Romantic repertoire. This study will be of great interest to scholars performers and students to anyone wondering about how our performances reflect our culture and about how the Romantics played their own culturally-embedded music. | Vital Performance Historically Informed Romantic Performance in Cultural Context

Performance as Research Knowledge methods impact

Performance as Research Knowledge methods impact

Performance as Research (PAR) is characterised by an extraordinary elasticity and interdisciplinary drive. Performance as Research: Knowledge Methods Impact celebrates this energy bringing together chapters from a wide range of disciplines and eight different countries. This volume focuses explicitly on three critical often contentious themes that run through much discussion of PaR as a discipline: Knowledge - the areas and manners in which performance can generate knowledge Methods - methods and methodologies for approaching performance as research Impact - a broad understanding of the impact of this form of research These themes are framed by four essays from the book's editors contextualising their interrelated conversations teasing out common threads and exploring the new questions that the contributions pose to the field of performance. As both an intervention into and extension of current debates this is a vital collection for any reader concerned with the value and legitimacy of performance as research. | Performance as Research Knowledge methods impact
