Relationship between analysis and musical performance, Challenges in musical performance, Schenkerian approach, Analysis of performanceAbstract
The article approaches the potential of the schenkerian analysis tool in addressing performance issues. It illustrates the employment of this tool in the production of expressive metaphors (sound projection and affective modeling), as well as it demonstrates the possibility of a mutual contribution or “symbiotic process” between analysis and performance. Its object is the Praeambulum of J. S. Bach’s Partita n. 5, which was selected due to its interpretative challenges. The analysis of voice leading, which is considered in a comprehensive analytical context, it is complemented by the observation of metric events and analysis of expressive elements from recordings (dynamic, articulation and agogic), supported by the using of the Sonic Visualiser software. The results show how notions arising from Schenker's theory tend to contribute to performance decisions by the performer, as well as its interpretative process.
