PERFORMING EDITIONS: THE PERILS AND PRIVILEGES
Concerts can be enjoyable, stimulating and even intriguing experiences – but how exactly do the notes travel from the pen of the composer to the music-stands of the performers?  In this lecture, Rupert Marshall-Luck will describe the processes involved in preparing a musical work for publication from an autograph manuscript, exploring the difficulties of deciphering a composer’s true intentions from sometimes sketchy indications; and revealing some of the temptations that await an unwary editor.  He will also examine the ways in which such editions can be used by performers in preparing their interpretations – and prescribes for them a healthy dose of scepticism and imagination.

From eyes to ears: using editions in performance

followed by Performance Classes
The purpose of any performing edition is to allow a performer to communicate to a listener a performance of a musical work as nearly as possible to the intentions of the composer.  However, the preparation of such an edition nearly always involves a degree of interpretation on the part of the editor – hence the conventions surrounding the use of editorial symbols in scholarly-critical editions.  In this seminar, some of the issues surrounding the performance of music from a scholarly-critical edition will be discussed alongside an examination of the stances available to the performer in relation to the edition; and the importance of the judicious application of scepticism and imagination will be emphasised.
