Workshop Analysis and Interpretation, Barcelona, 28. i 29. veljače 2020.

The Associació de Teoria i Anàlisi Musicals (ATAM), in collaboration with the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (ESMUC), organizes a workshop on music Analysis and Interpretation, with the goal of exploring the relation between these two music disciplines under practical, theoretical and pedagogical perspectives.

The organization of the workshop is glad to announce the participation of professor John Rink from Cambridge University. Several ATAM founding members and members from other international societies have confirmed their participation. The event will take place in ESMUC on Friday 28 of February in the afternoon (at the Choir Room), and on Saturday 29 all day long (at Sala 4).

We invite scholars to present papers related to the advertised subject. A list of suggested subject areas and questions is given below:

• Comparing different interpretations of scores in analysis on the one hand and in performance on the other. Is it possible to establish a connection between analytical practice and performing practice? Is it possible and desirable to detect affinities between concrete analyses and concrete performances? May performing practice guide musical analysis? Can analysis motivate convincing “analytical interpretations”?
• Experience reports of performers about the role of analysis in their own rehearsing practice.
• Historical traces about the connection between analysis and performance.
• Experience reports on the usage of new technologies. Is there a desire to complement analysis with tools for the measurement and visualization of performance parameters?

Participation types include:

• Paper presentation (maximum 15 minutes, and 5 minutes for questions).
• Round-tables (from 3 to 5 participants, each one having a breaf presentation of its position in maximum 5 minutes, followed by a general discussion in a maximum total time of 50 minutes and 10 minutes for questions).
