ENGLISH SUMMARY Title: The ambiguous score Presenting romantic piano pieces from simplified scores In this essay, I have investigated if different types of simplified scores – scores whose musical structure are clearer compared to the original – can stimulate a more artistic interpretation as well as a more linear understanding of the piece. My analysis also investigates what kind of impact these kinds of scores have on memorization. The music is derived from the romantic piano repertoire and the subjects are six university-level music students. Half of them were placed in a reference group, and only received the original scores, while the others also received the altered versions. I used both reduced scores where notes were removed in order to emphasize the linear structure and scores where the pitch notation was the same as in the original , but the notes were grouped differently. The result indicates that those having access to multiple versions had a positive impact on the musical interpretation. They also gained a more comprehensive understanding of the overall form.
