Class Description:
Performance Theory investigates the transformation process from the score to its sounding instrumental realization. We discuss the most important scholarly publications by Bruno Repp, Theodor W. Adorno, or Neil McAgnus Todd and others. The theory first describes the structure of such transformations (tempo being the most elementary such structure) and the investigates the analytical, emotional, and gestural rationales for expressive performance. The course aims at bringing together theory and performance in order to learn that these two fields are highly relevant to each other in the sense that good performance needs a deeper understanding of the structure of musical symbols encoded in the score, and that good theory should have an impact on exoressive performance. We shall investigate these relations not only intheory and conceptualization, but also using software for shaping expressive performance.
