About this exposition

Research Proposal Name: Ivan Pavlov Main subject: Classical Department, Piano Name of the research coach: Anna Scott Title of the research: Comparing the differences and similarities of structure and performance in the Sonatas for Two Pianos and Percussionist by Hungarian composer Bela Bartok and Bulgarian composer Stefan Ikonomov. Research question: Do comparisons between the two sonatas, especially where structure is concerned, reveal how each composer either destroys or plays with sonata form; and can such an analysis help performers to better understand and perform the two works? Motivation/ rationale and goal of the research project: My personal goal in this research project is to analyse and better understand the two sonatas, especially where form is concerned. I want to discover how the two composers either establish or destroy the structures of sonata form, how they develop their musical materials, and how they play with different timbres of the instruments, so that I can be able to perform each work better. Research process and planning: What I’m planning to include in the research: First: To discuss the lives of the two composers, the historical and musical context of each of the sonatas in question, and what inspired them to each write a sonata for two pianos and percussion. Second: To provide a comprehensive and detailed analysis of each of the sonatas, with particular focus on each work’s formal properties, the materials they use, their use of sonata form, and instrumentation issues. Third: To formulate concrete examples of how these analyses have helped me to better understand and perform the two pieces. The materials from which I started are: 1. The workshop of Bartok and Kodaly, by Erno Lendva 2. I’m arranging an interview with the wife of Stefan Ikonomov. 3. Elementary theoretical knowledge of both works. 4. Article about Stefan Ikonomov: “The composer, the pianist, the teacher” written by Rostislaf Iovchev, in Magazine of Musical Horizons. Chosen format of documentation: Research Paper
