Abstract Details

2018, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Piano.
Karol Szymanowki (1882-1937) has long been neglected and underrated for political and musical reasons. This document will introduce the Polish composer Szymanowski and, above all, stylistic and aesthetic features of his music in three compositional periods that make his works worthy of more listening, studying, and performing. However, greater meaning and importance of this document lie in discussing interpretative points and interpreting five selected piano works from a performer’s standpoint to provide a well-balanced practical guide for performing and listening to Szymanowski’s piano music.
