About this exposition

This research is about arranging and performing; how performing my own arrangements affects my performance experience. The inner motivation for performing and sharing music with an audience has always been there when I felt a strong connection with the piece. What if I could play and share every piece of music if I feel a special connection, no matter the limits of the original instrumentation? How do I ‘arrange’ this for myself, for cello? And how does performing my own arranged piece influence myself on stage? And how does my audience perceive this performance? The research involved two phases where each one involved an arranging process followed by a performance. For the intervention, the method involved using a questionnaire and feedback forms to gather internal and external feedback. The internal feedback was about my own experience of performing my own arrangement, and the external feedback included the reactions of the audience and experts on my performances. It turned out that performing my own arrangements, did have a positive influence on my performance experience for both myself as performer (internal) and for my audience (external). Because of the special connection with the pieces, the inner motivation to share the music was leading and resulted in more self-confidence on stage and authentic performances, even though I experienced more vulnerability than normal. An additional spin off in this research was that when bringing my own arrangements to my main subject lessons, the lesson dynamic changed and these lessons were amongst the most important lessons for my development as a musician. What I learned from this research was that making myself able to play pieces that I love makes me happy in my practise room and on stage. I believe this could be a useful key for other performers. Making your own music, or versions and arrangements of existing repertoire can help a musician to feel autonomous, happy, and convinced about their own playing and will result in a positive performance experience.
