Description

This book discusses key issues (and barriers) of putting into practice nineteenth-century violin performing practices. It deals with a number of well-known problems concerning romantic performance including the widely perceived 'gap' between scholarship and the act of performance. Taking account of a modernist revolution in performing practices and aesthetic thought in the twentieth century, the book focuses on key topics to define romantic violin playing. Practically-focused chapters discuss key aspects of performing practice evidence. The book then moves into a case-study phase to discuss examples from the author's long experience. It concludes with practical advice and exercises to enable students to begin experimenting with the assimilation of such practices into their own performance. In this way, the proposed structure aims to be a 'handbook' proper. The handbook ends by looking to the future and suggesting practical ways for violinists to adopt what has been discussed in the text. The continued centrality of nineteenth-century music in contemporary concert life makes the importance of the topic self-evident. 01.0_pp_i_iv_Frontmatter 02.0_pp_v_vi_Dedication 03.0_pp_vii_viii_Contents 04.0_pp_ix_x_List_of_Illustrations 05.0_pp_xi_xii_List_of_Music_Examples 06.0_pp_xiii_xiv_Acknowledgements 07.0_pp_xv_xvi_List_of_Abbreviations 08.0_pp_1_8_Introduction 09.0_pp_9_10_ISSUES_AND_PROBLEMS 10.0_pp_11_34_Mind_the_Gap_Of_Chasms_Historical_Research_and_Romantic_Performance 11.0_pp_35_64_A_Modernist_Revolution 12.0_pp_65_66_IDEALS 13.0_pp_67_98_A_Violinistic_Bel_Canto 14.0_pp_99_122_A_Violinistic_Declamatory_Ideal 15.0_pp_123_124_RESOURCES 16.0_pp_125_142_Organology_and_its_Implications 17.0_pp_143_158_Teaching_Perspectives_Treatises 18.0_pp_159_174_Editions_as_Evidence 19.0_pp_175_192_Recordings_as_a_Window_upon_Romantic_Performing_Practices 20.0_pp_193_194_PROCESSES_AND_PRACTICES 21.0_pp_195_212_The_Leeds_School_Autoethnographic_Reflections_on_Historical_Emulations 22.0_pp_213_242_Joseph_Joachim_A_Case_Study 23.0_pp_243_244_SUGGESTIONS_AND_EXERCISES 24.0_pp_245_258_Technical_Exercises 25.0_pp_259_270_Stylistic_Exercises 26.0_pp_271_276_Conclusion 27.0_pp_277_278_Book_Website_Information 28.0_pp_279_298_Bibliography 29.0_pp_299_308_Discography 30.0_pp_309_319_Index
