Description

In his forthcoming book, Roberto Poli presents original discoveries that have generated ground-breaking insights based on years of research and performance: long-standing interpretations of commonly encountered musical signs and symbols, from as early as the 1770s, may fail to reveal the composers' intended meanings. These misconstrued readings are due precisely to traditions themselves - traditions that have rested largely upon received knowledge rather than historical accuracy. Restoring the original connotation of signs and symbols in the scores can bring us closer to practices that have not gained access to our vocabulary because of decades of misinformed playing and fallacious scholarship. By bringing us closer to intended practices, the restoration of these meanings can give us greater interpretive insight and freedom.

Author Biography:

Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Pianist Roberto Poli Has established himself on - and offstage as a powerful and eloquent communicator. The life and art of Frederic Chopin are at the core of his studies, from the organization of a yearly symposium devoted to the composer to the recording of Chopin's complete works for the European label Onclassical. Poli balances his life between performing around the world, teaching a select number of gifted students, lecturing, writing, and restoring his 1850s Victorian home overlooking Boston's historic Chester Square.
