Paraphrase

Filipa Botelho

Paraphrase - Experimental organism on the body of the musician, its qualities and contexts takes the body of the musician as subject and proposes an exercise that departs from the repertoire for solo clarinet containing movements beyond the ones commonly considered as part of the music-making body and continues proposing an experimentation based on an acoustic feedback set-up where movement, sound and space have a different relation among them in what the instrument of composition is concerned.

Besides that, it proposes a shared experimentation with the same set-up between musicians and dancers to enlarge the method of comparison.

The relationship between performer and musical work has shifted focus in the last fifty years. 

Romanticizing Brahms

Anna Scott

Though they are generally regarded as invaluable traces of late-Romantic style, early twentieth-century recordings make for uncomfortable bedfellows with modern norms for the performance of certain nineteenth-century repertoires and the canonic identities protected by those norms. Nowhere is this truer than in Brahmsian spheres, where the version of Johannes Brahms communicated by the recordings of the Schumann-Brahms circle of pianists stands in stark contrast to constructions of his 'Classical' identity and its underlying aesthetic ideology of control.
