Composer — performer — score: paradoxes in Romantic performing art

Authors

  • Vladimir P. Tchinaev Moscow State Conservatory

Abstract

The article analyzes European piano culture in the 19th century. Based on the aesthetic views of Hegel and Wagner and the creative concepts developed by Liszt, Schuman, Anton Rubinstein and their contemporaries, it examines the phenomenon of “co-authorship” and its relation to scores and interpretation in the Romantic period. The complex interaction of performers’ freedom and their faithfulness to composers’ intentions, artistic spontaneity and stylistic authenticity, subjectivity and objectivity is regarded as paradoxes of Romantic art. Having a historical background, these paradoxes predetermine the future evolution of musical consciousness.

Keywords:
