About this exposition

The research aims to explore and learn about historical performance practices and reach a deeper understanding of the interpretation of Franz Liszt’s works, particularly his operatic fantasy Réminiscences de Norma. The research is presented in three parts. The first part is about the historical background of Liszt’s operatic fantasies; that is the time when Liszt focuses on playing virtuosic music. I point out some textures that Liszt used to show his newly invented technique. The second part, which is the main part of the research, is based on two historical inputs: Liszt’s instruction on playing his music in terms of pedagogy, and the historical recording of Ferruccio Busoni, a pianist who followed Lisztian tradition. In this chapter, by critical listening to Busoni's recording playing Liszt’s Norma Fantasy, I examine and analyze some expressive devices that Busoni used to show the musical ideas and expression. These expressive devices are primarily tempo modification and rhythmic alteration. In the last part, I incorporate these devices into practice and create my performance as an outcome of the research. With the aim of applying expressive devices to my performance practice, I choose to document the research as an exposition which has the combination between text and media containing images and videos taken from social media, commercial recordings, and also from my experimentation process.
