Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
While there is a wealth of academic research examining the history and formal analysis of the Dvorak Cello Concerto, there is a lack of literature in the field regarding how to learn the concerto. The universal reputation, as well as the high levels of technical and artistic virtuosity of the Dvorak concerto set challenging issues for artists studying the concerto. To help young artists navigate the process of learning a virtuosic concerto, topics related to practicing the concerto are discussed, including prerequisite techniques for virtuosic concerto study; developing a practice method; the ethics which govern virtuosic practice; problem solving exercises for passagework; and interpretive issues that affect practice. Specific examples pertaining to the Dvorak Cello Concerto include exercises developed for practicing passagework, as well as listening lists and imagination exercises.
