The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the ways in which solo pianism could be influenced by répétiteur work. In my experience as a solo and collaborative pianist, I have benefited musically from engaging in répétiteur work. It has become evident to me that a reciprocal relationship between répétiteur work and solo piano performance exists. This is a practice-led study based on a qualitative approach with a performative paradigm. The literature studied includes the available sources by experts in the following fields: opera coaching, vocal accompaniment, collaborative pianism, the work of a répétiteur and various aspects of solo pianism. I also draw on my own experience as répétiteur and solo pianist. The following aspects were explored: breathing, phrasing and cantabile playing; imitating orchestral timbre on the piano; as well as facets of interpretation and expression. An interpretative analysis of numerous excerpts from the vocal and solo repertoire was conducted in order to elucidate the aspects explored. ae2025 Music MMus Performing Art Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-05: Gender equality SDG-09: Industry, innovation and infrastructure SDG-10: Reduced inequalities 2019-07-11T15:09:41Z 2019-07-11T15:09:41Z 2019-09-04 2019 Dissertation Melck, M 2019, An exploration of the influences of répétiteur work on solo pianism : a practice-led study, MMus Performing Art Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/70685> S2019 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/70685 en © 2019 University of Pretoria.
