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.
