Analytical, cultural and historical musicology will be blended with musical performance to study the ¡°French accent¡± given to earlier European piano music (the ¡°classics¡±) in French music publisher Durand¡¯s multi-volume ?dition classique A. Durand & fils. ¡°[This] seemed an ideal way to capitalise on the strengths of our French Music Research Hub, also enabling fruitful collaboration with the Royal Northern College of Music,¡± Deborah Mawer, research professor of music and director of the French Music Research Hub at the Birmingham Conservatoire, told Times Higher Education. ¡°We hope to discover how this¡­accenting¡­varies from subtle inflection through to more radical rewriting of texts, dependent on editor and period, and how in turn this may help us rethink our understanding of performance, then and now.¡± Information about the edition¡¯s role and network will shine light on topics such as French cultural identity, the works of 20th-century French composers, and pedagogy and wartime publishing. ¡°Using the Durand edition as its timely focus, this project is significant in bringing together early-late period expertise, disciplines of analysis, editing and cultural history, as well as creating dialogue between academics and performers. It has exciting potential to change practice,¡± Professor Mawer added.
