"Cooking a Canon with RUBATO®" Performance Aspects of J.S, Bach's "Kunst der Fuge"

Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference article › peer-review

Abstract

We present and discuss an experimental investigation of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Kunst der Fuge" on the RUBATO analysis and performance platform. Three resultsare presented: (1) Soniiication of analysis yields an immediate evidence of well-organized metrical structure. (2) Valid performances of major works of European Music can be construed in a puzzle paradigm of combinatorial construction rather than in fuzzy metaphors of creativity and inspiration. (3) Prejudice-free, analysis-driven strategies seem to yield more interesting performances than strategies which try to reach a preset expressive style-target.
