Abstract Details

2001, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music : Conducting, Orchestral Emphasis.
Symphony No. 4 of Witold Lutoslawski is one of the symphonic masterworks of the twentieth century. This composition, completed in 1992, was Lutoslawski's last symphonic work, and represented the final stage in the continual transformation and refinement of his musical language. Despite the fact that this composition has been performed to critical acclaim, there has not been a work dedicated to its analysis or an examination of the performance issues that it presents. This thesis addresses the compositional elements of Symphony No. 4 in relationship to the invaluable information presented in published conversations with Lutoslawski about his earlier works, and presents the first published analysis of the piece. An examination of the performance issues presented in the composition includes the first publication of an extensive list of corrections for both editions of the score and the orchestral parts.
