About this exposition

Name: Goran Filipec Main Subject: Classical Piano Research Coach: Andrew Wright Title of Research: Romanticism and its heritage: The piano transcription Research Question: Where is the phenomenon of the transcription coming from? Are there similar creations in other arts that it could be compared with? How to differentiate artistic transcription from a technical one, and what are the means used in its creation that make this difference? Summary of Results: In my artistic work transcriptions attracted much of my attention and I had the opportunity to play and perform them often in concert. It is relatively easy to remark that many transcriptions from Romanticism are not often performed anymore. A big part of them however can still be considered high quality piano pieces. That fact opened for me important questions about the source of the transcription, and its essence. While trying to answer to these questions I pursued a musicological research combined with practical analysis of different sound makings necessary to create adequate acoustic effects. I found that categorizing transcriptions and their main characteristics in comparison to their original sources suggests immediately an interpretative guideline. For example a textual and ideal independence from the original could suggest a more free interpretation. On the other side, the transcription, which is trying to reproduce original ideas with different means, implies more respect of the original piece. Biography: Goran Filipec was born in 1981 in Croatia where he received his first music lessons. He studied piano at the Academy Ino Mirkovich, Zagreb Music Aacademy, Oxana Yablonskaya Piano Institute, Schola Cantorum and Moscow conservatory “P.I.Tchaikovsky”. He performed as soloist in Europe, USA, South America and Japan, and was awarded several top prizes at international piano competitions such as José Iturbi (USA), Premio Mario Zanfi (Italy), Gabala International Piano Competition (Azerbaijan) and Concours Ile de France. He has recorded for Naxos (CD), France 2, Radio Suisse Romande and other radio and TV channels.
