Improvisation, Interpretation und Komposition sind drei grundlegende Bereiche des musikalischen Lebens, die vielfaltig voneinander abhangig sind und sich standig durchdringen.Dieses Buch sammelt und verarbeitet Erfahrungen aus uber einem Jahrzehnt. Seine Absicht ist nicht, eine Einfuhrung in den Bereich zeitgenossischer Pianistik zu geben oder ein Lehrwerk zu sein, obwohl es auch hierzu taugen mag; eher schon zielt es darauf, die Vielschichtigkeit der behandelten Themen zu verdeutlichen und auf die kunstlerische Notwendigkeit selbststandig zu suchender Wege und eigenverantwortlicher Entscheidungen hinzuweisen.

In this book, Gerhard Mantel looks into the question which means and tools a performer should have in order to make a musical text into the intellectual and emotional experience intended by the composer. As is generally known, the 'actual music' does not exist in the printed work. But which are the aesthetic and creative criteria for how the performer can, or has to, treat the musical text in order to interpret it and explain it to the listener?The musical imagination, the inner anticipation of the musical effect, is a vital condition for an interpretation. In addition, it is important to know, however, whereupon this effect is based and how it can be achieved.Based on decades of concert and teaching experience, the author leads the reader to a unity of knowledge, planning, intuition and emotion and thus to an 'interpretation technique' which is indispensable to an inspired interpretation and can be achieved by every musician in his/her very personal form.

Was kann uns heute an Clara Wieck-Schumanns kunstlerischem Weg inmitten der Entwicklungen des Musiklebens im 19. Jahrhundert interessieren? In diesem Buch werden die verschiedenen Tatigkeitsfelder der Pianistin, Komponistin, Padagogin und Herausgeberin einer umfassenden Betrachtung und Bewertung unterzogen. Hundert Jahre nach ihrem Tod wird die Personlichkeit dieser aussergewohnlichen Kunstlerin noch immer kontrovers beurteilt, nachdem sie von ihren Zeitgenossen mystifiziert, von der Nachwelt jedoch lange vergessen worden war.Die Autorin kann sich bei ihrer Darstellung auf die Fulle der uberlieferten Quellen und Dokumente stutzen - von den fur Clara Wiecks Ausbildung massgeblichen Methoden des Klavierunterrichts bis zu Tonaufnahmen vom Spiel ihrer Schulerinnen und Schuler. So ergeben sich nicht nur Blicke auf ein Leben von einzigartiger Konsequenz und Verantwortlichkeit, sondern es lassen sich ebenso innerhalb vermeintlich vertrauter historischer Zusammenhange neue Perspektiven entdecken und Schlussfolgerungen fur die heutige Praxis ziehen.Dieses Buch bietet mit seinem Materialreichtum eine willkommene Erganzung zur biographischen Literatur uber das Phanomen Clara Wieck-Schumann.
