AUTUMN TERM RESEARCH SEMINAR SERIES |
PRACTICAL APPROACHES TO PERFORMANCE PREPARATION This seminar, first delivered at Cambridge University in November 2010, sets out a structured method which takes the practical musician from first viewing of a new, unknown work to its performance in the critical and public arena. It is a personal approach: a method I have evolved for my own use and which has grown out of my own experience as a performer, my own reading on the subject, and – very importantly – from advice and instruction offered to me during my own musical training. |

CHOMBEC LECTURE-RECITAL SERIES |
Discovering and exploring the Sonata for Piano and Violin of Arthur Bliss The Sonata for Piano and Violin by Arthur Bliss has languished in Cambridge University Library for almost one hundred years. Rupert Luck and Matthew Rickard gave the World Première of the Sonata at the 2010 English Music Festival and their recording was released on EM Records in March 2011; and this lecture-recital formed an account of the process of editing the manuscript for performance and the issues surrounding its practical realisation. Their description of this remarkable work was lavishly illustrated with musical examples, including the first-ever live performance of its original version. |
