Abstract

Glavni cilj ovog diplomskog rada je objasniti pristup i načine izvođenja novih tehnika često zastupljenih u suvremenoj glazbi, koristeći Makrokosmos II Georgea Crumba kao orijentir. Skladatelji danas sve češće pišu glazbena djela koristeći proširene tehnike što je, nažalost, izvođačima još uvijek stran pojam. Objašnjen je i kratki povijesni razvoj klavira kao instrumenta koji je odavno prestao biti samo instrument s tipkama, instrument koji danas predstavlja novu platformu za izvođenje moderne glazbe. U ovom radu nalazi se podrobnija analiza tehničkih poteškoća Makrokosmosa kao i objašnjenja o izvođenju – upute o pravilnom sjedenju, koordinaciji tijela, pedalizaciji. Makrokosmos predstavlja odličan temelj za razumijevanje i treniranje novih izvođačkih tehnika.

The composers today write mostly using these extended techniques, which is, unfortunately, still unfamiliar to the interpreters. The paper also covers the short history of piano development, an instrument that today presents a new platform for performance of modern music. The main point of this dissertation is a careful analysis of technical difficulties found in Makrokosmos, as well as performance guide – instructions regarding sitting, body coordination, and pedal usage. Makrokosmos represents a perfect ground for understanding and training of the extended performance techniques.
