Ramopoulou, Lorenda. "La musique pour piano solo de Nikos Skalkottas." Thesis, Paris 4, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA040017.
Full textThis thesis is a research into the style and influences on the solo piano works of Nikos Skalkottas (1904-1949). For the first time the composer is considered in relation to the pianistic milieu he was acquainted with during his Berlin years (1921-1933) and his oeuvre is examined in the light of its various references. A specific analytical methodology emerges from these influences, aiming at facilitating the performer’s work and revealing the stylistic components of the pieces. The refinement of the timbre in the playing of Berlin pianists in the interwar years, enhanced by the “coloured sound” of the Bechstein historical pianos, acquires a special importance. It leads to a series of analyses and graphs, showing the role of texture and timbre as compositional elements in Skalkottas’s piano music. The graphs, meant for the use of pianists, reveal an interaction between texture and form. This is complemented by the study of the piano pieces grouped according to their references; they extend from baroque music and Beethoven to dance jazz, light music, and Greek music elements. Both approaches can be justified from the study of primary sources, used for the first time in relation to this repertoire, and are complementary. By offering pianists new tools for its interpretation, the aim is to facilitate the access to this music and help its further promotion
Oh, Sang-Eun. "La musique pour piano d'Olivier Messiaen: technique et esthétique." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040082.
Full textWhile many composers in the 20th century considered the work itself to be the most important factor in making admirable music rather than inspiration, Olivier Messiaen has regarded the inspiration as equally important to the work itself for his composition. We can say that he has bridged the era of classical music toward that of modern music. While pioneering in the creation of his own musical language, he fabulously applied all the traditional elements from the past to his composing. He has always encouraged his students to advance music by enlightening them with new vision. Undoubtedly, everything changes so fast these days especially due to the rapid advancement of technology. This is the same in musical domain, as well. Therefore, one of the major issues for the majority of contemporary composers is the advancement of technology. But, Messiaen used new musical elements adopted from his various inspirations. He has generated his inspirations by keeping his eyes and ears to the nature (the symbol of liberty), the faith (the object we cannot see) and the glory of God (the stature we cannot reach). Thanks to the hands of composer, we are able to feel as if they are in front of us. Exploring the evolution of his technique with piano, we can better understand his musical development from the beginning to the end of his life. The piano is the primary instrument he chose to express his desire to approach the world on the earth and the Heaven at the same time
Fraboulet, Meyer Aurélie. "Corps et interprétation : lorsque le corps pianistique raconte une histoire." Thesis, Paris 10, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA100215.
Full textEvery subject possesses not only one human body but several bodies, influenced by their interaction with the environment. A subject is also influenced by a primitive corporal dimension, which incarnates their style, their way of being in the world. Style is inserted into the expressive intentions of the subject, by an intentional and unconscious energy which influences their behaviour. This doctoral thesis concerns the expressive intentions of a pianist during the performance of musical gesture (a combination of the subject’s mental representation of the musical work and the involvement of the pianist’s body). Results have shown that both style and the primitive dimension orient a pianist’s body towards a particular organization: a body organized at various levels linked to differing aspects of musical gesture. This organization suggests that a pianist’s body incarnates the proto-narrative structure of musical gesture, implying that a pianist’s body also incarnates their personal story constructed throughout their mental representation of the musical work. It is not purely a functional support, neither purely an emotional support, but fits in above these two dimensions. Furthermore, a pianist’s body is manipulated unconsciously, confirming the existence of an intentional and unconscious energy. This research shows importantly that a pianist’s body has been “surnaturé” to incarnate the telling of a story
Dejos, Virginie. "Analyse et interprétation des six dernières sonates pour piano d’Alexandre Scriabine." Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040224/document.
Full textThe following thesis focuses on the six final piano sonatas by Alexander Scriabin from the point of view of pianistic interpretation. The first part reconstitutes Scriabin’s unique musical and image-oriented universe from the basis of the listener’s perspective. The second part analyses the works from a musicological stand-point, taking into consideration indications on interpretation found in the scores. In order to more clearly identify the logic and structure of the musical language, which is marked by the usage of extended tonality, the analyses presented are inspired from Schenkerian traditions. The third part, directly linked to performance practises, explores the pianistic writing style as well as the timbral and temporal parameters, with an important place given to historical recordings
Matejova, Petra. "L’Œuvre de Jan Václav Hugo Voříšek (1791-1825) dans la production pour piano de son époque et son interprétation aujourd’hui." Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040056.
Full textJan Václav Hugo Voříšek (1791-1825) has an indispensable role in the music history: being the creator of the genre impromptu, his visionary musical style has many qualities. His music has a great potential to speak to nowaday´s public, if well interpreted. This thesis wishes to fill three gaps in the existing treatment of the subject: the research in the field of the theory of interpretation, the comented critical edition and the work of the applied research – a complete recording on an instrument suitable to the repertoire. The text offers the results of the research and shows the possibilities of today´s interpretation of early music. First chapter treats composer´s life and artistic developpement, the second chapter orientates on general period interpretation and the third chapter analyses Voříšek´s solo piano music. Two practical annexes complete the thesis. One of them is the suggestion of changes in the existing edition, in order to fulfill the needs of the historically informed interpretation. The other one, the recording shows an interpretation based on a study of the musical sources and of the period practise, on an instrument close to the time of the genesis of the works performed. The aim was to apply the results of the theoretical research presented in the second and the third chapter of this thesis in the interpretation

Full textBetween 1800 and 1840, the central problem for musicologists which arises from the study of the didactic discourse is that of « expression », the key-word of the musicians of this period. They consider this concept with a conviction that testifies to its solid anchoring in the theorical. The first part of this thesis is devoted to the aesthetic presuppositions which, by their very presence in the texts, call for an obligatory study of the contemporary works devoted to aesthetics. The second part raises questions about the relation which begins to develop between the composer and the artist. This relation in turn leads to the questions posed by the musicians concerning the production of sound, its nature, its context, its meaning. The reading of the musical texts, a skill taught only implicitly, is the subject of the third part of this thesis. Musical notation as viewed in the treatises, and as seen as a semiotic system apart, allows for the identification of significant keys to the understanding of stylistic reading. These results justify the study of this corpus not simply from the perspective of the history of didactics, but also from the point of view of aesthetics
Elias, Maria Helena Pinto Da Silva. "Villa Lobos, l'homme et son œuvre pour piano." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA040198.
Full textThis study on the piano works of Heitor Villa-Lobos -Brazilian composer of the first half of this century (1887-1959) -aims to uncover the essential principles of his musical language through the rhythmic, melodic, harmonic and formal analyses of his compositions, and has for goal to define the composer's style. The investigation of the regional elements was a top priority, among the various characteristics of Villa-Lobos music. Such study enables the comprehension of the interaction due to the use of ethnic elements with the evolution of the musical language in western countries during the present century. The metrotectonic method applied to the structural study of Villa-Lobos language has proved to be worthwhile and has contributed to establish its bases. This research has also worked on the piano technique, classifying the piano touches and analyzing the nowadays conceptions and basic principles. On the appendix, besides documents, reviews, programs and copies of manuscripts, one can also find one cassette recording of certain Villa-Lobos pieces performed by the author of this work, during the Villa-Lobos international piano competition, Rio de Janeiro, 1981
Gentet, Maroussia. "Au cœur de l’expérience du sens dans l’interprétation pianistique. Construire la temporalité par la présence au mouvement." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023SORUL111.
Full textMy research is grounded in an essential question for the musician: how do you construct a lively performance that seems meaningful to him ? Some artists describe an experience of being played that combines understanding of the musical text with its embodiment in the playing: musical elements are sensitively connected and delimited across different time scales by a gesture that makes sense. Firstly, the study of practical issues of pianistic experience brings into question a model of the body as object, and a way of using imaginaries to motivate gesture, that underlie traditional musicological analysis and pedagogy. The segmentation of musical text into articulated elements in a quantified space, and the succession of movements aimed at producing sound segments, appear insufficient for experiencing the meaning and continuity of musical experience. Secondly, theatrical anthropology, dance, psychomotricity, phenomenology and practical experience provide insights into the emergence of meaning through the notion of corporeity. The notions of premovement and presence open up the quest for a quality of attention aimed at perceiving variations in body tonicity in interaction with its environment, in order to shape the quality of gesture. These practices explore the relationship to alterity, the construction of spatiality and the connection between different parts of the body by engaging the imaginary. Applied to the performance of a musical work, they enable us to articulate musical elements in our own relation to the world, and to develop an embodied temporality

Full textCette thèse porte sur la recherche-création ayant menée à l’apprentissage et l’exécution publique de Diário, œuvre pour piano du compositeur brésilien Heber Schuenemann (né en 1971). Dans ce cycle, qui comprend 23 courtes pièces, le compositeur explore la notion de « hasard », propre à la musique aléatoire. Il utilise également des techniques de composition s’apparentant au sérialisme et au minimalisme. Après avoir présenté les principales caractéristiques des courants musicaux propres à l’œuvre, la chercheuse-pianiste procède à une analyse de l’œuvre, décrivant la structure et les techniques de composition de chaque pièce. Par la suite, elle décrit sa propre démarche d’interprète – du déchiffrage de l’œuvre à sa prestation publique et à son enregistrement en studio – et elle commente son expérience à la lumière de la littérature pertinente. Sont abordées, notamment, les difficultés inhérentes au déchiffrage d’une œuvre atonale et les diverses étapes menant à l’identification de ses éléments structuraux; les difficultés relatives à la technique pianistique; l’importance du regroupement d’unités et de l’acquisition d’automatismes corporels; la définition de l’image artistique. Des pistes pédagogiques favorisant l’enseignement et l’apprentissage de l’œuvre sont également présentées.
This thesis reports on a research-creation focused on learning and public performance of the cycle Diário, a piano work by Brazilian composer Heber Schuenemann (born in 1971). In this cycle, which includes 23 pieces, the composer explores the notion of chance, specific to the indeterminate (aleatory) music, and uses the compositional techniques comparable to the serialism and the minimalism. After presenting main features of musical styles of the cycle, the researcher-pianist proceeds to the analysis of the cycle, describing the structure and the technique of composition of each piece. Thereafter, the author describes her own approach of an interpreter, from the deciphering the work to its public performance and studio recording, commenting on her experience in the light of the relevant literature. In particular, the author examines the difficulties in deciphering an atonal work and various steps leading to the identification of its structural elements. In addition, the author focuses on the definition of the artistic image, the difficulties related to the piano technique, the combination of units, and the acquisition of automatisms. Educational means promoting the teaching and learning of the work are also presented.

Christoffel, David. "Les mentions verbales sur les partitions pour piano d'Erik Satie." Paris, EHESS, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011EHES0126.
Full textBased on the play instructions of the first scores by Satie, we can identify how they replicate the musical atmosphere of the period and some of his aesthetic heritage. To better quatify the content of following the work of Françoise Escal on the concept of "paratext" in the editorial field of music, we consider all verbal notes of piano scores by Satie and find aspects under which they saturate the romantic heritage' of one hand, the editorial practices that are contemporary to the other. By examining how the relationship between composer and player is so reconfigured, we consider the projection of the score in an editorial space expanded. Thus, we seek to be about verbal notes on scores by Satie jointly social positioning of the composer and aesthetic trends of his music. Seeking communities in posture and substance between the letters of Satie and verbal notes, we show that the change of morphology of the score broadens on its exit modalities of Romanticism and its articulation with the poetic innovations of Apollinaire and Cendrars. It is scrutinizing the enunciative subtleties which occur specifically that we can produce a more nuances picture of the composer in his lyrics and refresh the issues of his reputation as ironist. To do this, we draw a bibliography as well philosophical (Platon, Canetti, Jankélévitch, Foucault), as artistic (Chopin, Shumann, Picasso), as semiotic(Barthes, Genette)

Full textIn the world of early twentieth century music, Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943), the Russian composer, pianist and conductor, is a paradox. Although he stayed rather outside the musical trends of his time, he nevertheless developed a surprisingly original aesthetic approach, with a distinctive style within the field of Russian music. Taking into account his entire works for piano and his phonographic recordings as pianist, we attempt to identify and systematise the various constants of his musical language and pianistic style. Using typical writing procedures, the composer contributed, in his way, to the renewal of music for the piano, and created a monumental style wherein lyricism, harmonic sumptuousness and virtuosity are tightly mixed. This analytical work led us to consider more precisely Rachmaninov's place in the world of music in his time. Rachmaninov was deeply marked by his country of birth, and influenced by the esthetics of the romantic composers, and his collected works, of a great richness, are intimately linked to the problems of the first half of the twentieth century

Full textThe second half of the twentieth century witnessed the development of the movement of renewal in the interpretation of old music, especially that of the Baroque period, depending on theoretical updating, reading and studying of contemporary works that provided musicians with a range of elements which have no relation with the traditional interpretation inherited from the nineteenth century.The approach applied in composing music was accompanied by a restoration and reopening of the former instruments, which became essential to the modern performance of old music. As a pianist, I am very much interested in the keyboard repertoire of the late Baroque, or the second half of the eighteenth century. The instrument played today, the modern piano, has a visible place in the landscape interpretation of baroque repertoire for keyboard. However, these works were designed for an entirely different instrument. How could the harpsichord play old works? How pianists interested in Baroque music experienced the movement "baroque"? What is really the piano skills do to this music? Beyond that, how are the philosophers of interpretation involved in this issue? What is their philosophy and how was it built? The proposed study aims to answer this set of questions, preferred the keyboard works String of Bach, Scarlatti and Rameau, composers representing distinct tradition of writing and Holders of each particular stylistic characteristics.The analytical study was applied in addition to recordings from the time of microstomia

Full textLuís de Freitas Branco is considered a major Portuguese composer of the first half of the 20th century. Over various decades, his life and works were little known and studied ; even though a renewed interest was kindled in recent years, his piano works remained largely untouched by scholars, and published biographical facts concerning him were of a much too general nature. This dissertation aims to establish as complete a biography as possible, based on a scrupulous confrontation of sources ; to illustrate various aesthetic tendencies represented in the composer's output by a comparative analysis of his piano works ; to discuss these tendencies in the context of Freitas Branco’s creative and personal life

Full textThe four-hand and two-piano repertories hold a significant position in Maurice Ravel's creative work. His original compositions mark decisive stages of his career (Sites auriculaires, Ma mère l'Oye, Frontispice); moreover, piano versions of his orchestral works (Scheherazade, Rhapsodie espagnole, la Valse, "Fanfare" from l'éventail de Jeanne, Bolero) are very revealing in terms of his creative processes. His adaptations of Claude Debussy’s nocturnes and the prelude to the Afternoon of a faun shed light as well on the originality and power of his abilities in transcribing. The quality of these scores has allowed them to attain fully independent stature, particularly in the case of the two-piano version of la Valse. The present study attempts to establish ravel's contribution to the realm of specifically pianistic textures in four-hand or two-piano music. It offers an examination of the historical background and defines the role of four-hand piano playing in the composer's life. Ravel's activities, his musical preferences, his artistic relationships and his creative mind are thus presented from a new angle. French repertory from the era is brought to light using an analytical plan based on the converging of the specific parameters in each type of instrumentation
Pacault, Daniel. "[Le sãs] de la musique : contradictions et paradoxes de la pratique musicale instituée : le cas d'un cours individuel de piano." Pau, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PAUU1008.
Full textTeaching music in school academies has always been a recurrent issue. Is art meant to serve the learners' purpose or conversely, do learners have to comply to the rules of art ? There seems to be no clearcut decision that could close this debate. Since they have to face such a contradiction, learners, teachers and institution seem to be in a paradoxical and antinomic position which makes it hard to settle the matter. How can they solve such a dilemma ? With this aim in view, we will question music itself, using a play on words about the "säs" of music, something between the sense and the essence of music. We will study the sense of music through its three different meanings: its very meaning as regards language, its perspective as regards sociology, its sensation as regards phenomenology. Will this research, by giving some meaning to music, enable us unravel the paradoxical situations generated by music ? In a second part, we will attempt to get as close as possible to music by laying its sound on paper exactly like the written form (le säs) which perfectly renders the music heard in the words "sense" and "essence". For this purpose, we will translate the recording of a piano lesson into a score and we will attempt to reveal what is being woven between a teacher and his pupil. How do these two persons hear the music through the song of the piano ? And finally, we will unexpectedly find out that the musician's paradox can be solved through the practice of improvisation, thein-between, essential to expression and interpretation. In a sense, the essence of music might be hidden in the dephs of improvisation?

Full textBorrowing from folklore constitutes one of the numerous operations done by early 20th century creators from a material pre-existing to their works. Those operations are subtended by multiple identity-searching processes that often shift the eyes of the analyst away from the work to the whole of its symbolical and contextual connotations. Questioning oneself about the consequences, be they stylistic or technical, of those phenomena doesn’t seem to be taken for granted. By reexamining the tonal structure of works, with or without borrowings, composed by Béla Bartók between 1903 and 1920, through a pattern of Neo-Riemannian inspiration, enabling an interpretation of their tonal distances based on the definition of triadic unit. This study aims at reassessing, beyond their tonality, corpuses still to often considered as split apart by a rather impervious flaw line, that between romanticism and modernity

Full textThis PhD dissertation deals with the piano pieces of Franz Liszt from the period of 1835-1855, shown in the context of the idea of correspondance des arts on the basis of detailed analysis of Liszt’s selected pieces: Album d’un voyageur, Années de pèlerinage. Suisse and Italie, Harmonies poétiques et religieuses (1835, 1853), Mazeppa, and Liebesträume. The dissertation is divided into three main parts. In the first one, the idea of the correspondance des arts has been presented in a wide cultural context of the first part of 19th century. The second part deals with the composer’s aesthetic opinions explicitly presented in his writings and letters. The last part contains an analysis of selected Liszt’s piano pieces together with a detailed comment on programme texts. The research focuses on those parameters of a musical piece, in which the composer’s inventiveness is displayed in full (harmony, form, cyclical structure). At the same time, it aims at indicating some constant elements of musical language which are carriers of extra-musical meanings
Thomopoulos, Stephanos. "Le piano xénakien. Des concepts au langage instrumental : enjeux pour l’interprétation." Thesis, Paris 4, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA040248.
Full textXenakis’ piano, like all the composers’ instrumental languages, remains a rather peculiar issue in the literature of the instrument, still rarely approached by pianists, not only because of its obvious difficulty, but mostly because of the great number of question raised by it, questions related to its feasibility and execution. The originality of the composer’s musical language generates a technic extremely detached from piano tradition, and a pianist often lacks the savoir-faire and the tools to reach a convincing execution of these works. In this research we try to approach the link between the principal xenakian concepts (stochastic music, symbolic music, Brownian movement and wave-like sides, arborescences, sieves) and the pianistic language related to it, in order to identify Xebakis’ writing for the instrument and consider the ways that the performance of this music can take place. We study briefly the whole output of Xenakis’ piano works (solo, concerto, chamber music, piano in the orchestra), then we explore each of the composer’s main concepts, in order to establish their connection to the pianistic language in four major works for piano : Herma, Synaphaï, Evryali, Mists. For each one of these works, we first perform an analysis, then we propose a pianistic approach aiming at the preparation and the performance

Full textMost of analytic tools developed during this century are exclusively devoted to the basic low-level components of music writing : pitch classes. It is however an evidence that, at least since debussy, forming and linking complex abstract sound-objects are, too, decisive composing features. This work exposes the basis of a computer-aided method of information and evaluation of the components of the musical score which may bring out all the necessary data for a neutral-level analysis of the formal functions of these objects. Our experimental analyses of some piano works of debussy, show how such an object-oriented approach could be included in a more general analytic method
Militaru, Alexandra-Corina. "Les allures improvisées dans les oeuvres pour piano et de musique de chambre de Georges Enesco." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018REN20036.
Full textThe starting point lies in the act of listening and the impression of improvisation left by Enesco's musical works on us, subjective listeners. We shall place the musical experience - and not just the mere musical text - at the core of our analysis. By what means and through what terminology can the impression of improvisation be accounted for in a written and theoretically composed musical work ? The seemingly improvised airs provide an answer to this question and will be considered as aesthetic fiction, in the sense that they exist only for the listener. Two categories emerge from the creation of a typical perception of the seemingly improvised airs, linked to specific writing techniques : written improvisation - as a potentially noted improvisation, and improvisatory writing - as a false improvisation. Written improvisation is defined as the potential avatar of improvisation, a change, a modification which implies writing. Improvisatory writing is defined as false improvisation ; consequently, it is nothing but an imitation, by means of composition, of improvisation

Full textThe aim of this work is to study the performing art of several generations of pianists who were trained in the 19th Century but who extended their artistic activity throught the 1st half of the 20th Century. The rise of the art of interpretation which marked this period gave the artistes who - following their great masters - have left a considerable number of records where their plaiyng conjures up an image of the romantic composition that may be more authentic, though it is quite different from that of today.Based on the idea that the rise of the pianism at the turn of the 20th Century comes largely from the remarkable expansion of the 19th Century performing arts, we hypothesize that it is precisely in the aesthetic positions and the vision of the world inherent in the Romantic era that we should look for the sources of such a rise. Chief among the important features of the style of interpretation of the pianists of the 2nd half of the 19th Century, was their creative thinking, but also the surprising freedom they enjoyed to improvise and modify compositions. Other features include the intellectualism of their approach to the performed composition. Analyses of certain peculiarities of style, of the ways of playing typical of the 19th Century (such as rubato, the « pointillism » etc.) reveal the real polyphonic thougth of the Romantic era. This is not only the polyphonic writing itself, but a polyphonic principle in a broader sense, manifesting itself through the style of interpretation which, in turn, defines the specific spatio-temporal perception of these several decades
Liu, Hongye. "Interpréter les symphonies de Beethoven dans les transcriptions de Franz Liszt." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Strasbourg, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024STRAC022.
Full textLiszt 's transcriptions of Beethoven's symphonies for piano solo are considered the most faithful to the original works. Liszt named these transcriptions « partition de piano » (piano score), specifically referring to reproduction of orchestral resonance on the piano. Liszt also encouraged young pianists of conservatories to learn these transcriptions. However, existing research has been limited to the study of historical sources and score analysis, which overlooked Liszt's description of the orchestral sound effect from the piano score and lacked studies on how they should be performed on the modern piano. The principal theme of our research focuses on the orchestral resonance on the piano, consists of historical contexts, comparison of the symphonic scores with their piano transcriptions, and exploration of how to perform them on the modern piano. Our study is divided into three parts, aiming to clarify the concept of « partition de piano » (piano score) and Liszt's true thinkings behind these transcriptions, and to enrich piano playing by reproducing orchestral resonance through the study of these transcriptions of Beethoven's symphonies by Liszt
Tsekova-Zapponi, Daniela. "Les interprètes face à la Sonate en si mineur de Liszt." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015STRAC014/document.
Full textOur research focuses a comparative analysis of the performances of Liszt's Sonata in b minor. We analysed twenty-five recordings by pianists grouped into five piano schools : Hungarian, French, Russian, American and German. We compared the deviations of the performers from the score and the differences between the individual performances, based on a selection of seven parameters that allowed us to characterise each of them. A double analysis was made: "by ear" and with the aid of acomputer. Our research has shown the importance of several complementary factors of influence : education, the period during which the pianists lived and created, the artists' temperaments and their artistic individualities. At the end of our research, we demonstrated the existence of specific features within each of the national piano schools, and also of some features that characterise the performing style of each generation
Robert, Alexandre. "Une approche sociomusicologique de la création musicale : la pratique de la composition pianistique de Déodat de Séverac." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040165.
Full textHow does Déodat de Séverac develop his piano works? This thesis purpose is to understand and explain the composer’s singular ways of writing for the piano through the various dispositions (that is to say the various tendencies to act, to think, to feel, etc.) forged within the frames of socialization he is led to frequent all along his trajectory. To restore the Déodat de Séverac’s “compositional doing” (his dispositions, his practical logics, his aesthetic schemes, etc.) and its possible transformations, the author articulates three analytical operations : a reconstruction of the successive frames of socialization crossed by the composer (such as the familial sphere, the regionalist literary circles, or the two opposing poles of the avant-garde of the French musical field that are the Schola Cantorum and the group of the “Apaches”) ; an analysis of the actions and the speeches of the composer ; an analysis of his whole piano production. This sociomusicological investigation is based on a work on archives and on an exploitation of several types of sources, from the writings of the composer – such as his correspondence or his music criticisms – to the various musical tracks of his works – original edited scores, manuscripts or sketches – via the numerous indications of his interactions with his contemporaries – particularly the writings on Séverac and the letters that are addressed to him

Full textThe thesis examines the relationship between gesture and composition in the 32 Piano Pièces (1940) by Skalkottas. Following the identification of the various influences perceptible in the corpus, a thorough study of the pianistic notation of the composer is undertaken. Why are the 32 Piano Pièces not often performed? The answer is their technical difficulty. The legitimacy of an in-depth study of the appropriate pianistic gesture for their interpretation is thus confirmed. The term compositional procedure is proposed to describe composing techniques in Skalkottas’s work, which can be traced back to great masters of the past. These are not noteworthy per se, but become so when they are combined with pianistic gestures for the formal articulation of the pieces. The research question we propose to examine, through the combined analysis of pianistic gestures and compositional procedures, is supported by the evolution of the relationship between the two dimensions, the physical and the written aspect. The symbols in Sandor’s pianistic method are retrieved, completed by other symbols and applied in a gestural analysis of the 32 Piano Pieces. They are then combined with new symbols proposed by the author, designating compositional procedures. A selection of pieces is analyzed, culminating in the suggestion of the term distillation, to highlight how Skalkottas organically assimilated various influences. The question of whether the corpus constitutes a pianistic cycle or not, is also examined. Vol. II contains a complete critical edition of the 32 Piano Pieces, based on the detailed comparison of the two existing autograph manuscripts. The thesis is accompanied by interviews with pianists who have performed the pieces

Full textMozart’s piano sonatas suffer from prejudices, such as unnecessary difficulties, which lead pianists to set this music aside(Newman 1983). Mozart’s performance practice is often discussed (Badura-Skoda 1980; Levin 1992; Ogata 2012) and his instrumental music is the purpose of many comparative analysiswith his vocal music (Chantavoine 1948; Keefe 2001; Klorman, 2013). More precisely, Jones’ (1985) compares Mozart’s piano sonatas with his operas, but he does not propose new interpretation tools. Moreover, Irving suggests that Mozart’s piano sonata K.457 shows an operatic language (1997 : 100): «The material is of narrative, even dramatic kind. This is evident from the beginning, which presents a dialogue suggestive of two radically conflicting characters, [...]» (Irving 2010: 99).Thus, this work will be regarded as a “story” following Grabócz’s definition (2009), whic his, sounds’continuity taking the form of a plot . How could narratology give a new understanding of the writing strategies specific to the first movement of this sonata? How could it influence our influence our own piano playing? We will first compare writing strategies related to the opera’s characters appearing at the same time in some of Mozart’soperas(Idomeneo 1781, Die Entführung aus demSerail 1782, Le Nozze di Figaro 1786, Don Giovanni 1789, Die Zauberflöte 1791) and in this movement. These similarities will then be associated with Grabócz’s “figures dynamiques de la mise en intrigue”, which are “suspense” and “curiosity”. Finally, we will take a look at how these analyses influencedour interpretation of this work, and how our creative process impacted our researches.

Full textMy thesis dissertation presents and analyses the life and work of Ceri Richards (1903-1971), a British painter originally from Wales. His art is profoundly influenced by music. As a music lover and pianist, Richards was particularly appreciated by London critics of his time who “placed him as one of the highest ranking, mid-20th-century British Painter” (E. Bénézit, Dictionary of Artists, Paris, Gründ, 2006). After the Second World War, the musical references are much more visible and important in his painting. His Cathédrale engloutie series, which was inspired by the eponymous Prelude by Debussy, is unanimously praised.The first part of my thesis is a biography of Ceri Richards, based on the importance of the music in his life. It relies on sources, letters unknown until now and articles about the artist never before explored.The second part investigates two corpus: the first one inspired by Debussy’s Cathédrale engloutie and the second by Beethoven in a comparative analysis.The third part is a catalogue raisonné of the work in relation with music. The organisation is in eight thematics: piano and pianists, Claude Debussy, Ludwig van Beethoven, opera stage decor and costumes, music in the poetry, illustrations realised for The Story of Music written by Benjamin Britten and Imogen Holst, illustrations for books which are not musical and other diverse musical themes. This catalogue raisonné is the first one and shows the extent and diversity of Ceri Richards’s musical inspiration
Caux, Grégoire. "Les dernières pièces pour piano de Franz Liszt. Pour une étude de la notion de fin d’œuvre." Thesis, Paris 4, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA040127.
Full textIn his late piano pieces, Franz Liszt tends to destabilize the traditional codes of the cadential procedures. He aims to avoid the general configuration of consonance, relaxation and quiescence. Several semantic categories can be defined, each of them having its own stylistic characteristics: female, past, sinister, macabre, even if death seems to be the most efficient principle, from a point of view of aesthetics. It is to propose a reflection into the meanings of these endings. To do this, we resort to poïtic intentions of the composer with the esthesic expectations and interpretive collaboration of the listener. The first part of this thesis is devoted to process of denudation and threshold notion, whereas the second part raises questions about the principle of increase, related to mephistophelian, sinister and gypsy-Hungarian topoï. At last, the third part focuses on several topics: open ending, experimental form, expectation, the unexpected and romantic fragment. These avenues of reflection attempt to identify a paradox of the ending in Liszt’s late piano pieces, between closed structure and threshold principle

Full textGeorge Friedrich Haendel was one of the artists of the imitative arts. During his opera seria production, he invented, laid out his artistics works, according to the principes of these arts. One observes there an ordinary of the entier opera and its parts dependend between them by estabilishing an alternation of shades and lights sounds. This placement of schiaroscuro xas one of the composants to curcumvent to maintien the interest of the public, while bringing a without delay renewed variety. His recitatives finished invariably by instruments notes only for purposes of dark inevitable measurements and their decrescendo and/or by silences representatives of the darkness. This contrasted with the clearer airs with important sound densities. Also, this composer indicated to it the fortes and pianos instrumentals to raise the depths of sound of the chiaroscuro of each part of his operas. Concerning the sound densities, Haendel usually had long, dense parts A instrumentaly contrasts about it with the short parts B, not very dense instrumentaly and usually with instrumental pianos as of the beginnings of the partie B, recessing the darkness of these parts. Musically, the placement of the chiaroscuro was done there on long vocal and/or instrumental behavious with the musical developpement of those on crescendo, decrescendos and/or messa di voce. The parts of vocal and/or instrumental agility followed these dynamic sound, by emphasizing the parts of bravery in contrast of the pathetic airs

Full textBorn as the eldest son of a piano manufacturer, Pierre Joseph Guillaume Zimmerman (1785-1853) was one of the piano promoters in the first half of the nineteenth century, this can clearly be seen from his activities as a piano virtuoso, educator, composer and socialite. His unique role consisted of his dual occupation as a successor to Cherubini in academic composition, and also his role as a passionate supporter of the modernization of the piano. This thesis is a monographic study of Zimmermann, and explores the multiple aspects of the activities in which the musician became famous for in different periods of his life. In the first part, I discuss his origins and his life before 1831. I discuss his studies at the Conservatoire, his first pedagogical contributions, his marriages, his classical piano works (Sonata op.5 and two concertos) and two operas. The second part covers the period from 1831 to 1842. I consider the increase in the number of students from his class who became winners of the annual piano competition, his method Encyclopédie du pianiste compositeur – which favours the études as a genre – and the salon concerts that he organized at his apartment in the Square d’Orléans. The third and final part relates to the post-Cherubini period from 1842 to 1853 in which I focus on his contribution to the organization of the Association des artistes musiciens, his two masses, his last years as a professor of Conservatoire, and the life after his retirement in 1848. The information provided in the second volume of annexes also highly complement this study by presenting a family tree, his portraits, civil registers of the Zimmermans, his letters and the other documents

Full textDespite the notoriety of Gabriel Fauré’s musical style, the particular style of his chamber music still remains difficult to comprehend by analysis. Formal construction is a real subject of question. While some analysts try to attest to his originality by examining how it departs from tradition, others offer analyses of the dynamic characteristic of its themes, whose continuous development leads to the realization of large form. The latter have so far relied on a limited corpus of works. This thesis proposes to expand the corpus to the five large chamber works for strings and piano - two Quartets op. 15 and 45, two Quintets op. 89 and 115 and the Trio op. 120 in order to define the “formal dynamics.” After the study of testimonies from the composer's time that highlights the formal originality in his work, the subsequent analysis deals with the internal arrangement of themes and the realization of large form from the study of scores. I conduct my analysis with the help of graphic representation created by a computer software that can visualize the enveloping dynamic and identify climaxes. By revealing the contents of this process, this thesis helps to better reflect the very personal style of Fauré and the way in which he creates music that gives the impression of continuous progression and development extending to the end of the work

Full textCette thèse a pour objet l’étude interdisciplinaire et systématique de l’expression du timbre au piano par les pianistes de haut niveau, dans le contexte de l’interprétation et la pratique musicales. En premier lieu sont exposées la problématique générale et les différentes définitions et perspectives sur le timbre au piano, selon les points de vue scientifiques et musicaux. Suite à la présentation de la conception du timbre au piano telle qu’établie par les pianistes dans les traités pédagogiques, la perception et la verbalisation du timbre au piano sont examinées à l’aide de méthodes scientifiques expérimentales et quantitatives. Les mots dont usent les pianistes pour décrire et parler de différentes nuances de timbre sont étudiés de façon quantitative, en fonction de leurs relations sémantiques, et une carte sémantique des descripteurs de timbre communs est dressée. Dans deux différentes études, la perception du timbre au piano par les pianistes de haut niveau est examinée. Les résultats suggèrent que les pianistes peuvent identifier et nommer les nuances de timbre contrôlées par l’interprète dans des enregistrements audio, de façon consistante et convergente entre production et perception. Enfin, la production et le contrôle gestuel du timbre au piano en interprétation musicale est explorée à l’aide du système d’enregistrement d’interprétation Bösendorfer CEUS. La PianoTouch toolbox, développée spécialement sous MATLAB afin d’extraire des descripteurs d’interprétation à partir de données de clavier et pédales à haute résolution, est présentée puis mise en œuvre pour étudier la production expressive du timbre au piano par le toucher et le geste au sein d’interprétations par quatre pianistes exprimant cinq nuances de timbre et enregistrées avec le système CEUS. Les espaces et portraits gestuels des nuances de timbre ainsi obtenus présentent différents degrés d’intensité, attaque, équilibre entre les mains, articulation et usage des pédales. Ces résultats représentent des stratégies communément employées pour l’expression de chaque nuance de timbre en interprétation au piano.
This dissertation presents an interdisciplinary, systematic study of the expression of piano timbre by advanced-level pianists in the context of musical performance and practice. To begin, general issues and aims are introduced, as well as differing definitions and perspectives on piano timbre from scientific and musical points of view. After the conception of piano timbre is presented as documented by pianists in pedagogical treatises, the perception and verbalisation of piano timbre is investigated with experimental and quantitative scientific methods. The words that pianists use to describe and talk about different timbral nuances are studied quantitatively, according to their semantic relationships, and a semantic map of common piano timbre descriptors is drawn out. In two separate studies, the perception of piano timbre by highly skilled pianists is investigated. Results suggest that advanced pianists can identify and label performer-controlled timbral nuances in audio recordings with consistency and agreement from production to perception. Finally, the production and gestural control of piano timbre in musical performance is explored using the Bösendorfer CEUS piano performance recording system. The PianoTouch toolbox, specifically developed in MATLAB for extracting performance features from high-resolution keyboard and pedalling data, is presented and used to study the expressive production of piano timbre through touch and gesture in CEUS-recorded performances by four pianists in five timbral nuances. Gestural spaces and portraits of the timbral nuances are obtained with differing patterns in intensity, attack, balance between hands, articulation and pedalling. The data represents common strategies used for the expression of each timbral nuance in piano performance.
