Instructive Editions and Piano Performance Practice: A Case Study

Více o knize

Instructive editions, often dismissed by music scholars yet widely used by students and performers, are examined for their role in music education and performance practice. This book explores their origins, usage, and the challenges they present. It highlights their significance as reflections of editorial interpretation, particularly through the analysis of Italian editions of Bach's Well-Tempered Keyboard. The author's background as a concert pianist enriches the discussion, providing practical insights into the complexities of music-making and the historical context of performance practices.
