About this exposition

Main Subject: Classical Percussion Research Coach: Paul Scheepers Title of Research: Polyrhythms: Evolution, analysis and interpretation Research Question: How did the percussion repertoire reach the levels of huge difficulty we have nowadays with polyrhythms? How can I practice in efficient way these pieces that seem to be impossible to play? Can we find any relationship between polyrhythms and pitches? Summary of Results: As a percussionist, I have often been challenged by pieces with a high level of rhythmic structures. Pieces I had to analyze previously to be able to understand them before start practicing. The most important thing in this kind of analysis is the rhythm. What I do in this research is an analysis of the common polyrhythms that we have in the percussion repertoire. I talk about the evolution that was made during the last centuries, and l explain the ways I found to practice and understand them better. The presentation will include some videos and recordings, as well as a PowerPoint document and some musical examples I will play. Biography Sergi comes from Alicante, Spain.
