Lecture Recital
Stolen time: Temporal shaping through musical markings in the nineteenth century
Sezi Seskir, piano


ILHAN USMANBAS SALONU
ITU, Maçka Kampüsü

In this lecture-recital the often-overlooked connection between tempo rubato and accentuation markings will be explored. A close study of these markings in light of the treatises from the early nineteenth century reveals indications not only about change of dynamic and touch but also about a flexible treatment of time that can help the performer shape music expressively, enabling moments of intimacy to be created in a threshold of regular pulse.

PROGRAM

Johannes Brahms, 7 Fantasien, Op. 116, Nos. 1, 2, 4
Frederic Chopin, Polonaise-Fantasie Op. 61, A-flat major
