This study investigated the performance decisions a professional violinist made to produce a baroque sound when playing a well-known piece of romantic music (Schumann's Träumerei). We tested whether listeners (n = 28 musically experienced) could detect these decisions. The baroque interpretation was compared with a more conventional interpretation of the same work. Participants rated the baroque-interpreted version as being more âbaroque expressiveâ than its âromanticâ counterpart, and identified various characteristics associated with baroque performing conventions. The results were consistent with the intentions of the performer and reflected current aesthetic norms in expectations with regards to performance style.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/08145851003793986
