How do musical analysis and performance relate? In a unique
collaborative approach to this question, theorist-pianist Daphne
Leong partners with internationally renowned performers to
interpret twentieth-century repertoire. Imaginative explorations of
music by Ravel, Schoenberg, Bartok, Schnittke, Milhaud, Messiaen,
Babbitt, Carter, and Morris illuminate focal issues such as the
role of embodiment, the affordances of a score, the cultural
understanding of notation, the use of metaphor, and - to round out
the viewpoints of theorist and performers with those of composer
and listeners - the role of structure in audience reception. Each
exploration engages deeply with musical structure, redefined to
encompass the creative activity of composers, performers, analysts,
and listeners. Performances, demonstrations, and interviews online
complement the book's written text; practical application and
pedagogical guidance round out theoretical and analytical content.
The collaborations themselves demonstrate different dimensions of
knowledge at the intersection of analysis and performance, and
illustrate Leong's theory of the things and people that facilitate
cross-disciplinary collaboration in music. They also exemplify the
antagonisms and synergies that emerge when theorists and performers
meet. Both flexibly and rigorously conceived, Performing Knowledge
is a brave crossing of disciplinary divides between scholarship and
practice, a work of analysis shaped by the voices of performers.
