Performance Guide to Selected Violin Works of Béla Bartók

Kim, Min Hwa

Abstract Details

2011, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Violin.
The aim of this document is to provide a performance guide to selected violin works of Béla Bartók, in particular the Violin Rhapsodies Nos. 1 and 2, the Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 2, and the Violin Concerto No. 2. This document will present thorough analyses of these works, because there has not been much written about them in terms of performance practice. This study will address folk characteristics, musical expressions, and technical issues present in these compositions, preparing the reader with the essential elements in understanding and preparing these works for a well-informed performance. I will also include background information on these compositions, complete with musical examples and appropriate pedagogical exercises, as well as a thorough description of the Hungarian folk style. Also included will be biographical information pertaining to Bartók and his compositional style. With my research, I hope to provide valuable information about Bartók and his selected compositions to all violinists, as well as to add an educational and artistic contribution to the violin literature.
