Underpinned by author John Rink's internationally acclaimed
scholarship and experience as a musician, this book addresses
fascinating topics in the field of musical performance studies
concerning the history, analysis and psychology of music, as well
as artistic research. It offers manifold practical insights into
musical performance, ranging from detailed technical features to
overall shape. The volume has four main parts, focusing on
performance and performance studies, historical performance,
analysis and performance, and artistic research. Case studies of
romantic piano pieces appear throughout, including Liszt's 'Vallée
d'Obermann', Brahms's Fantasien Op. 116, and select preludes and
concertos by Rachmaninoff and Chopin. The book also includes
discussions of recordings by such artists as Alfred Brendel, Artur
Rubinstein and Nikita Magaloff along with some outstanding
performances in the International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition
in 2015. Rink explores issues surrounding the identity and artistic
voice of the performer by elucidating the sense-making and
decision-making process underlying musical performance of all
kinds. He also offers broad insights into musical ontology,
epistemology and semantics, in addition to demonstrating some of
the methodologies now used to study performance. As a whole, the
book highlights the powerful effects that experiencing music in
performance can have on those who take part in it, in any capacity.
