This thesis focuses on the relationship between piano performance and Schenkerian analysis. Schenkerian analysis was designed initially as a practical guide for performers. In the different levels of a Schenkerian graph, we can see “musical forces” which lead the performer to deeply understand music itself. Using Schenkerian notation to highlight certain notes helps us to recognize lines behind the surface of the music that give certain passages coherence. This study concentrates on Chopin’s mastery of counterpoint and voice leading which leads me into the relationship of analysis and performance, typically by using the Schenkerian method. My examples will include a variety of pieces by both Chopin and Mozart, to show in what ways the Schenkerian analysis both highlights similarities and makes distinctions between composers and genres.

Ensembles have become iconic of the eighteenth-century opera buffa. Previous studies have focused their efforts on form, analyzing ensembles with instrumental structures. However, these forms do not provide information as to how ensemble texts are set musically or function in terms of drama. This study follows Ronald Rabin’s dissertation research on opera buffa performed at the Burgtheater in Vienna between 1783 and 1791. Rabin asserts an ‘ensemble principle’, explaining the broad form of buffa ensembles. This study focuses on the ensembles of two Viennese works: W.A. Mozart’s Così fan tutte (1790) and Domenico Cimarosa’s Il Matrimonio Segreto (1792). Using Rabin’s ‘ensemble principle’ as a foundation, a close reading of each ensemble from these two works reveals that these composers took very different approaches to ensemble writing. By sticking to or straying from conventions, Mozart and Cimarosa made musical choices that enhance character relationships and drama in diverse ways.

The problem of how to perform the early Classical keyboard slur has prompted perplexity and dissension in generations of thoughtful performers and teachers. While the mandatory legato indicated by the slur is unquestioned, diversity of opinion centers around the performance of the last note of the slur, specifically regarding its length. Modern pedagogy has generally followed a time-honoured principle of an early release for the last note of a slur, yet many artists seem to disregard this guidance at will. This study attempts to clarify the issue by examining several treatises of the early Classical period. A brief history of the slur is included because its origins undoubtedly influenced how it was later performed. Most of the research, however, focuses on relevant material found in three treatises written by contemporaries of Wolfgang Mozart, namely, CPE. Bach, Daniel Turk, and Mozart's father, Leopold. The three components of the slur—the first note, the notes under the slur, and the last note are treated in turn by presenting information found in the treatises and providing interpretative commentary. This information is then applied to slurs found in the keyboard sonatas of Wolfgang Mozart. Unfortunately, treatises provide no definitive answer to the question of the performance of the last note of a slur. This lacuna is most likely due to the daunting task of describing the many musical circumstances involved in performing the last note under a slur. Solutions to the problem, therefore, cannot simply be founded solely on treatise instructions regarding the slur. Fortunately, the wealth of descriptive writing on the general art of effective music-making also provides some important clues to understanding the principles of performing the last note under a slur. Much of this study focuses on understanding the three important factors influencing the slur's ending: formal structure, Classical violin bowing technique and, most important, the musical context in which a slur is found. When these three aspects of performance are understood, much of the uncertainty surrounding Wolfgang Mozart's slurs will disappear. / Arts, Faculty of / Music, School of / Graduate

There are numerous editions of the Concerto in W. M. Mozart's Do M. KV 314 / 285d which have been appearing since Bernhard Paumgartner was discovered in 1920, at the Mozarteum Library in Salzburg. The current editions take into account the musical writing of the solo part, both from this source and from the flute version. This has established two lines of editing and interpretation, the first following the indications of the manuscript of the oboe part and another according to the indications of the manuscript for flute, naturally transporting the part. This thesis presents a revised edition with an original and unpublished proposal, with articulations and dynamics similar to those used by Mozart himself in other works for solo oboe, mainly the Quartet KV 370 / 368b and the Divertimento for 7 instruments KV251, Works in which the oboe participates like instrument soloist. This makes it possible, for the first time, to have a "Mozartian" score, compared to the currents editions that are far from following the articulations, phrasing and signs of expression, typical of Mozart in his works for solo oboe. On the other hand, the study and analysis of the manuscript with the instrumental parts of the Rara Manuscript 314/1 of the Library of the Mozarteum of Salzburg allows to contribute an edition of the orchestra score with indications of phrasing or product of the arcs that appear in the instrumental parts of The string instruments, mainly of the violins. / Son numerosas las ediciones del Concierto en Do M. KV 314/285d de W. A. Mozart que han ido apareciendo desde que Bernhard Paumgartner descubriese en 1920, en la Biblioteca del Mozarteum de Salzburgo. Las ediciones actuales tienen en cuenta la escritura musical de la parte solista, tanto de esta fuente como de la versión para flauta. Ello ha establecido dos líneas de edición e interpretación, la primera siguiendo las indicaciones del manuscrito de la parte de oboe y otra según las indicaciones del manuscrito para flauta, transportando naturalmente la parte. En esta tesis se aporta una edición revisada con una propuesta original e inédita, con articulaciones y dinámicas similares a las utilizadas por el propio Mozart en otras obras para oboe solista, principalmente el Cuarteto KV 370/368b y el Divertimento para 7 instrumentos KV251, obras en las que el oboe participa como instrumento solista. Esto permite disponer, por vez primera, de una partitura que sea "mozartiana", frente a la actual que dista mucho de seguir las articulaciones, fraseo y signos de expresión, propios de Mozart en otras obras para oboe solista. Por otra parte, el estudio y análisis del manuscrito con las partes instrumentales del Manuscrito Rara 314/1 de la Biblioteca del Mozarteum de Salzburgo permite aportar una edición de la partitura orquestal con indicaciones de fraseo producto de los arcos que aparecen en las partes instrumentales de los instrumentos de cuerda, principalmente de los violines. / Són nombroses les edicions del Concert en Do M. KV 314/285d de W. A. Mozart que han anat apareixent des que Bernhard Paumgartner descobrirà en 1920, en la Biblioteca del Mozarteum de Salzburg. Les edicions actuals tenen en compte l'escriptura musical de la part solista, tant d'esta font com de la versió per a flauta. Això ha establert dos línies d'edició i interpretació, la primera seguint les indicacions del manuscrit de la part d'oboè i una altra segons les indicacions del manuscrit per a flauta, transportant naturalment la part. En esta tesi s'aporta una edició revisada amb una proposta original i inèdita, amb articulacions i dinàmiques semblants a les utilitzades pel mateix Mozart en altres obres per a oboè solista, principalment el Quartet KV 370/368b i el "Divertimento" per a 7 instruments KV251, obres en què l'oboè participa com a instrument solista. Açò permet disposar, per primera vegada, d'una partitura que siga "mozartiana", enfront de l'actual que dista molt de seguir les articulacions, fraseig i signes d'expressió, propis de Mozart en altres obres per a oboè solista. D'altra banda, l'estudi i anàlisi del manuscrit amb les parts instrumentals del Manuscrit Rara 314/1 de la Biblioteca del Mozarteum de Salzburg permet aportar una edició de la partitura orquestral amb indicacions de fraseig producte dels arcs que apareixen en les parts instrumentals dels instruments de corda, principalment dels violins. / Llimerá Galduf, A.
