About this exposition

This research focuses on the collaboration between composer and performer and in a broader view, the differences and similarities that collaborations in the XIX century and nowadays have. After a short biographical contextualization of the life of Joseph Joachim, it concentrates on the historic collaboration between Joachim and two of his closest friends, Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann, as well as with Antonin Dvorak. Furthermore, three modern collaborations, between me and the composers Julian de Loof, Jamie Alperts and Izak de Dreu, were considered, showing how was the process in each one, always making a bridge to Joachim’s partnerships, showing examples of where both differ or resemble. Questions like “How can a performer intervene in a composition process?”, “How important for a collaboration is to have a personal relation before its beginning?”, “What has changed and what remained the same in collaborations between composer and performer throughout the centuries?” and “What can collaborations between composer and performer teach in terms of communication and work method to the modern collaborations?” were addressed and reflected having in mind my experience and the knowledge obtained during the research about Joachim’s collaborations. To conclude the research I will reflect on the questions I had, based on the results I achieved and the things I observed.
