Abstract

This last chapter dealing with expressive performance focuses on analytical rationales of performance, which means that the shaping of performance is grounded in analytical facts, as opposed to gestural or emotional ones. This means that we have to analyze the given score’s structure and then define performance by use of such facts.

All words, And no performance!

Philip Massinger (1583-1640)
