  • Interpreting Tempo and Rubato in Chopin's Music

    Interpreting Tempo and Rubato in Chopin's Music

    Interpreting tempo and rubato in Chopin’s music: A matter of tradition or individual style? Li-San Ting A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of the Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences June 2013 ABSTRACT The main goal of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of Chopin performance and interpretation, particularly in relation to tempo and rubato. This thesis is a comparative study between pianists who are associated with the Chopin tradition, primarily the Polish pianists of the early twentieth century, along with French pianists who are connected to Chopin via pedagogical lineage, and several modern pianists playing on period instruments. Through a detailed analysis of tempo and rubato in selected recordings, this thesis will explore the notions of tradition and individuality in Chopin playing, based on principles of pianism and pedagogy that emerge in Chopin’s writings, his composition, and his students’ accounts. Many pianists and teachers assume that a tradition in playing Chopin exists but the basis for this notion is often not made clear. Certain pianists are considered part of the Chopin tradition because of their indirect pedagogical connection to Chopin. I will investigate claims about tradition in Chopin playing in relation to tempo and rubato and highlight similarities and differences in the playing of pianists of the same or different nationality, pedagogical line or era. I will reveal how the literature on Chopin’s principles regarding tempo and rubato relates to any common or unique traits found in selected recordings.

Scherzo No. 3 & • Rebecca Penneys (pn) • FLEUR DE SON 58045 (Blu-ray: 56:28) & Comments on piano playing and Chopin At first, I was startled to see that the music on this Chopin recital was interspersed with short segments of spoken commentary by the pianist, Rebecca Penneys, who is not only a performer but a top-level piano teacher of long standing. Within a few minutes I realized that Penneys’ remarks are central to understanding how she plays Chopin so beautifully and to such moving effect. She speaks of being transported as she plays, raised to a level of effortless ease that is like floating. Her teaching method, which she calls “Motion and Emotion,” attempts to impart a technique to her students that combines the greatest physical ease and least stress with the freedom to find one’s own expressive voice. I was delighted to discover in these comments that Penneys believes in playing music from the inside, a phrase too vague to really communicate what her performance style is all about but clear enough to point in the right direction. It’s not enough to say that her Chopin is poetic or Romantic; there are many aspects that involve a deep—in fact, lifelong—mastery of the instrument. Born in 1946, she began her piano studies in Los Angeles at three and appeared with the LA Philharmonic at 11—it’s a testimony to her performance philosophy that in her 70s Penneys displays undiminished technique and rapt attention.

    UPAM:Exultate Program Notes FINAL

    UPAM/Exultate Concert Program Notes with Katya Grineva-soloist Byron Duckwall Conductor / Cello Program Notes Byron Duckwall Nocturne in Eb Opus 9 no. 2 - FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN 1810-1849 The Nocturne in E flat major is a charming bagatelle that did more for the popularity of Chopin than all his other works. It has been aptly described as “delicate thoughts that delight us with their sweetness and charm.” Chopin composed three Nocturnes during the years 1830-1831 just as he turned 21. It is an example of a rare sense of stylistic purity. The title nocturne means “night-music,” but that term suggests the character of the music rather than defining a specific musical form. Already evident in this nocturne is the phenomenal rhythmic freedom that will characterize Chopin’s mature work: the left hand maintains a steady 12/8 pulse, while the right hand introduces the graceful main idea and then embellishes that theme through a series of increasingly ornate and fluid repetitions. It displays a masterful use of a single kind of wondrously subtle accompaniment. The nocturne is not in the expected ternary form, but proceeds simply through the extension of its lovely opening theme to a great climax, which Chopin marks con forza. This sudden eruption of expression leads to a concise apotheosis... and just as suddenly is broken off and stilled. Fantaisie Impromptu in C# minor Opus 66 - FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN Chopin composed the Fantasie Impromptu around 1834 at 24 years old and never much cared for it. It was published only after the composer’s death, contrary to his express wish that all unpublished works and sketches should be burned.
