  • French Performance Practices in the Piano Works of Maurice Ravel
    Studies in Pianistic Sonority, Nuance and Expression: French Performance Practices in the Piano Works of Maurice Ravel Iwan Llewelyn-Jones Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy School of Music Cardiff University 2016 Abstract This thesis traces the development of Maurice Ravel’s pianism in relation to sonority, nuance and expression by addressing four main areas of research that have remained largely unexplored within Ravel scholarship: the origins of Ravel’s pianism and influences to which he was exposed during his formative training; his exploration of innovative pianistic techniques with particular reference to thumb deployment; his activities as performer and teacher, and role in defining a performance tradition for his piano works; his place in the French pianistic canon. Identifying the main research questions addressed in this study, an Introduction outlines the dissertation content, explains the criteria and objectives for the performance component (Public Recital) and concludes with a literature review. Chapter 1 explores the pianistic techniques Ravel acquired during his formative training, and considers how his study of specific works from the nineteenth-century piano repertory shaped and influenced his compositional style and pianism. Chapter 2 discusses Ravel’s implementation of his idiosyncratic ‘strangler’ thumbs as articulators of melodic, harmonic, rhythmic and textural material in selected piano works. Ravel’s role in defining a performance tradition for his piano works as disseminated to succeeding generations of pianists is addressed in Chapter 3, while Chapters 4 and 5 evaluate Ravel’s impact upon twentieth-century French pianism through considering how leading French piano pedagogues and performers responded to his trailblazing piano techniques.

Son goût de la découverte a conduit le Festival à de nombreuses récréations lyriques (de Henri VIII de Saint-Saëns à Cyrano de Bergerac d’Alfano, et en 2006 Fiesque de Lalo), mais aussi à proposer des formes inusitées de concerts (piano itinérant, concert match) et la découverte de musiques d’aujourd’hui (jeunes compositeurs, musique électro-acoustique). Diversité et densité des manifestations sont les maîtres mots du Festival : lyriques - symphoniques - récitals et musique de chambre - jazz - musiques électroniques - musiques du monde - fi lms - débats - expositions. Six manifestations par jour en moyenne, plus de cent manifestations au total chaque année. Depuis 2002, le public du Festival dépasse 100.000 spectateurs.

This innovation was originally ordered as a custom built piano for Ferruccio Busoni, who wanted to transcribe an organ piece that went to the C below the standard keyboard. This innovation worked so well, that this piano was added to regular product offerings and quickly became one of the world's most sought-after concert grands. Because of the 290's success, the extra strings were added to Bösendorfer's other line of instruments such as the 225 model, which
