What are the key topics that define Romantic violin playing? 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.
This volume brings together twenty-two of the most diverse and
stimulating journal articles on classical and romantic performing
practice, representing a rich vein of enquiry into epochs of music
still very much at the forefront of current concert repertoire. In
so doing, it provides a wide range of subject-based scholarship. It
also reveals a fascinating window upon the historical performance
debate of the last few decades in music where such matters still
stimulate controversy.
