Description: Interpreting Chopin: Analysis and Performance by Alison Hood Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Music theory is often seen as independent from - even antithetical to - performance. While music theory is an intellectual enterprise, performance requires an intuitive response to the music. But this binary opposition is a false one, which serves neither the theorist nor the performer. In Interpreting Chopin Alison Hood brings her experience as a performer to bear on contemporary analytical models. She combines significant aspects of current analytical approaches and applies that unique synthetic method to selected works by Chopin, casting new light on the composers preludes, nocturnes and barcarolle. An extension of Schenkerian analysis, the specific combination of five aspects distinguishes Hoods method from previous analytical approaches. These five methods are: attention to the rhythms created by pitch events on all structural levels; a detailed accounting of the musical surface; strict use of analytical notation, following guidelines offered by Steve Larson; a continual concern with what have been called strategies or premises; and an exploration of how recorded performances might be viewed in terms of analytical decisions, or might even shape those decisions. Building on the work of such authors as William Rothstein, Carl Schachter and John Rink, Hoods approach to Chopins oeuvre raises interpretive questions of central interest to performers. Author Biography Alison Hood is a Lecturer at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth, having previously lectured at Trinity College Dublin and the University of Oregon. She is a professional pianist and cellist. Her research interests lie in the area of analysis and performance, particularly in piano music from the nineteenth century.
