Possibility of Multiple Interpretations by Analyses: Focusing on Phrasing and Articulation
This paper begins with an assumption that the performer's interpretation could be influenced by his or her diverse analyses. Among the various elements that can have an effect on the analyse, the decision of a structural harmony and the rhythmic issue that originater from a conflict between tonal and durational rhythms are the primary concern of the paper. The paper tackles the issue of which dominant will be selected as a more structural one in an analytic situation, in which a half cadence is followed by the other half cadence. After discussing strengths and drawbacks of the readings, I cautiously propose performance suggestions that can be derived from each reading. I interpret the meter and measure by considering rhythmic aspects of a piece and finally suggest rebarring a passage to a better understanding. I also discuss how a decision of a long-range structural harmony that governs subsequent harmonic succession can influence the interpretation and performance of a performer.
