Seminar 1: The workshop as a research tool

Owing to various recent cultural-economic factors, which led to
transformations in the structuring of the Higher Education sector and in the
funding strategies of Research Councils, favourable conditions have emerged
for the introduction of expert performers into academia and for the
potential integration of their professional knowledge and artistic
experience into traditional research cultures. There is, however, no clear
consensus at present on how the relationship between musical performance and
research is to be understood, and how performance can be integrated into the
research enterprise both methodologically and as outcome. Based on the
hypothesis that musical performance in the Western classical tradition is
not ipso facto a research activity, this seminar explores methods that are
appropriate for undertaking practice-based research in music performance,
and proposes the workshop as an important research tool. It discusses the
nature of a workshop, considers historical precedents and provides a
practical demonstration of a workshop, investigating how a pianist
undertakes to influence/shape the listener's aesthetic evaluation of the
performance of the first movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata in B-flat major
K.333.
