Public defence of the PhD 'Informed Phrasing', executed between September 2018 and September 2024 at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp and University Antwerp (ARIA), within the research group ‘Performance in Perspective’
ABSTRACT
The PhD project 'Informed Phrasing' delves into the intricate and often contentious relationship between music analysis and performance from an artistic, performative standpoint. With a primary focus on the Phrasing aspect of musical performance, the project explores the points of contact and interactions between Schenkerian analysis, Gestalt psychology, musical performance, and embodied music cognition. Through this exploration, a performative-analytical process emerges, firmly grounded in performance experience, with the aim of stimulating individual creativity and fostering expressivity.
