| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this thesis is to help piano players achieve a successful recital by analyzing extra-musical elements. By combining my live piano performance experience with an analysis of popular pianists’ live performance videos as well as authoritative scientific evidence, I provide musicians with a comprehensive and useful handbook to help and guide them towards a higher concert quality and success. In this study, I discuss the non-musical elements in chronological order spanning from pre-performance preparation to the actual piano performance, and extends to post-performance considerations. The pre-performance section encompasses psychological and dietary aspects that aid in preparing the piano player for their performance. During the performance, a broad range of elements including psychological and physical aspects, are discussed. In addition, I conduct a detailed analysis and comparison of live recital videos featuring world-renowned pianists, aiming to extract and summarize the essential extra-musical elements of achieving a successful piano recital.
Finally, I discuss the interaction with the audience during the performance and post-performance to better understand how this contributes to the success of a live concert. I include convincing scientific evidence to support each point. I found that these extra-musical elements in pre-performance, during performance, and post-performance all contribute to a successful piano recital. | en_US |
