Maintaining Disorder: Some Technical and Aesthetic Issues Involved in the Performance of Ligeti's ??tudes for Piano

摘要

This article examines some of the particular questions and associated strategies concerning matters of rhythm, perceived metre, notation, accentuation, line, physical approach to the keyboard, pedalling and more in the performance of Ligeti's ??tudes for piano. I relate these issues to those encountered in earlier repertoire, including works of Schumann, Liszt, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Bart?3k and Blacher, and argue that particular approaches and attitudes to both technical and musical matters in the context of these ??tudes can fundamentally affect the concept of the music. A particular focus is upon issues of continuity and discontinuity, and the a??situationa?? of these works within particular pianistic and other traditions by virtue of the approach taken to performance.View full textDownload full textKeywordsLigeti, Piano ??tudes, Performance Practice, Rhythmic Cells, Linear ExtractionRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true,"ui_click":true}; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/07494467.2012.717359
