CONTACT:Dr Nigel Bennee
DESCRIPTION:The lecture will survey traditional approaches within the disc
 ipline of musicology as a prelude to considering more recent research on m
 usical performance studies\, including the work of the Centre for Musical
  Performance as Creative Practice (www.cmpcp.ac.uk). This will lead to a s
 eries of case studies on the music of Fryderyk Chopin. Excerpts from a r
 ange of primary and secondary sources will be presented\, and the performa
 nce implications of the musical content as well as Chopin's very notation 
 will be assessed. \n\nOne of the aims will be to identify new ways of unde
 rstanding and developing possible links between 'thinking' and 'doing' in
  and through the act of musical performance. Furthermore\, the notion of 
 'informed performance' will be shown to be both problematic and propitiou
 s\, the former because of the unjustified expectations that musicologists
  have typically held in respect of how their research should be used by pe
 rformers\, the latter thanks to the creative potential of musical performa
 nce to convey the embodied and embedded knowledge that musicians acquire o
 ver time.\n
