Performance Practice/Debussy's Sonata for Flute, Viola & Harp

Abstract: A 5 page research paper that discusses accurate performance practice for Debussy's Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp. For over a century, the music of Claude Debussy has been performed, analyzed and argued over, with its innate mystery still a major contemporary issue (Abravanel 28). There is a present-day misconception among musicians that their knowledge of musical notation and intelligence alone are sufficient for accurately creating an interpreting a work (Abravanel 28). In order to achieve this goal, the musician must also know something of the "spirit and style of the work" in order to reconstruct the composer's intention in performance (Abravanel 28). Bibliography lists 6 sources.
