Excerpt from On Musical Execution: An Attempt at a Systematic Exposition of the Same, Primarily With Reference to Piano-Playing
Daily experience teaches that technique and execution in the performance of musical composi tions, are two entirely distinct factors of artistic individuality, which are mingled in the most va rions proportions, and whose harmonious fusion in the individual artist (through whi ch alone this title may of right be assumed) must be termed a very rare phenomenon among the multitudes of virtuosi who annually appear before the public. With most of these, technical skill predominates to such an extent, that amid our amazement at its display, which is indeed the object of these virtuosi, we are hardly able to enjoy the work of art itself.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book articulates the importance of artistic judgment and interpretation in musical performance, particularly piano performance. The author sought to compile a collection of guidelines for executing musical pieces as the composer intended them to be played. In doing so, they acknowledge that no system of musical notation, no matter how comprehensive, can perfectly capture the composer's true intent. The author's primary concern is preserving the composer's meaning and conforming to the structural demands of the musical piece. They emphasize the importance of closely adhering to the notated tempo and dynamics, and provide guidance on how to interpret passages that require added depth of expression or variation. The author advocates for a 'natural' interpretation, balancing the logical structure of musical expression with the emotional dimension. Ultimately, the author's goal is to assist musicians in conveying the depth and nuance of musical compositions so that they may truly engage the emotions of listeners.
