Performer’s Perspective- Mahler 3, a shout-out
February 9th, 2010
The Bridgewater Hall- Mahler in Manchester
Mahler in Manchester continues on February 12, 2010 at The Bridgewater Hall. The BBC Philharmonc and Vassily Sinaisky perform Mahler’s Symphony no. 3 in D minor and the premiere of Cerha’s “Like a Tragicomedy.”
On its most basic level, what most musicians, musicologists and listeners call “interpretation” is, when done right, basically a 3 step process.
1- Observation. What is there in the score?
2- Examination. Why is it there?
3- Application. What do we do with knowledge we’ve gained in the first two steps?
What do you see in the score, why is it there, and what do you do with it?
