About this exposition

Name: Leo Sörlin Main subject: Guitar Research supervisor: Enno Voorhorst Title of research: An analysis and realization of André Jolivet's Deux Etudes de Concert for solo guitar. The ambition of this research was to study André Jolivet's Deux Etudes de Concert (1965) for solo guitar with the ambition to find out how he responded to the nature of the guitar when he composed the piece. This was done with the help of two research questions: 1. When composing Deux Etudes de Concert, how did Jolivet respond to the nature of the instrument? 2. In what ways can I justify my performance, based on my knowledge of the instrument combined with my musical analysis of the piece? A thorough analysis with this focus results in a couple of located instances – with varying level of certainty – where adaptation is believed to been made. Being unfamiliar with the guitar, the influences from the instrument that were found during the analysis couldn't always be realized to its fullest potential. In the second part of this research the problems of realizing the score were adressed. Some of the focused spots required certain solutions, and the correspondence with the analysis gave an opportunity to value different aspects of the music. The effects of this research resulted in motivated solutions for the difficult problems encountered in the piece, as well as an understanding for how Jolivet's influences by the guitar shows itself in the music. Keywords: Guitar, André Jolivet, adaptation, realization, analysis.
