Abstract Details

2016, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
Korean composer Unsuk Chin (b. 1961) is regarded as one of the leading classical composers of the 21st century. Her vivid oral imagination; ability to express a wide range of musical colors; diverse influences, including non-European music and electronic music; and enthusiasm for the virtuosity have opened up, in particular, the various possibilities of a concerto genre. So far, from 1996, she has composed six concerti, one each for six different instruments: piano, violin, prepared piano and percussion, cello, the Chinese instrument sheng and clarinet. This dissertation examines Unsuk Chin’s Piano Concerto (1996-7), providing a biography of the composer and explaining her musical style in chapter 1, analyzing the influence of her teacher Gyorgy Ligeti and similarities of her Piano Concerto with Ligeti’s Piano Concerto (1985-88) in chapter 2, and offering an in-depth study of each movement of her Piano Concerto in chapter 3. The final section of the dissertation is composed of an interview with pianist Sunwook Kim, who recently performed and recorded her Piano Concerto with conductor Myung-whun Chung and the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra.
