<p class="MsoNormal">Dear SMT-PAIG members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings, we hope this message finds you well! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The 2023 meeting of the Performance and Analysis Interest Group will take place on
<b>November 11</b>, the <b>Saturday evening</b> of the upcoming SMT/AMS conference in Denver, from
<b>7:30 pm to 9:00 pm</b>. The room is <b>Governor’s Square 15</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are excited to be featuring PAIG’s founding chair Daphne Leong, who will give a lecture-recital on “A Puzzle in Sibelius’s Violin Concerto” with Victor Avila Luvsangenden (violin), assisted by Edward Klorman (viola). We’ll then use the
lecture-recital as a springboard into a group discussion of broadly related topics.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For this second portion of the meeting, we seek ideas for activities or discussion on (but not limited to) the following topics, as they relate to analysis and performance:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><b>Elements affecting</b> <b>
metric character</b>: e.g., subdivision, countermelodies, polyrhythms, texture, orchestration, thematic or formal consolidation/fragmentation<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><b>Notation challenges</b>: textual (alternate/withdrawn score version, evolving notations/performance practices); comparisons with aural/recording traditions (incl. for well-known repertory); subtle/obvious
notational distinctions, interpretive freedom/dogma<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><b>Parallel passages</b>: emphasis/downplaying of difference/similarity as goal; inter-/intra-thematic development or ambiguity; formal, rhythmic, tonal, instrumental, affective, generic factors<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We welcome structuring prompts, ideas for activities, musical examples, and guiding questions. Please submit them (as many as you wish) by
<b>November 2</b> to <a href="mailto:smtpaig@gmail.com">smtpaig@gmail.com</a>. Session activities will be selected from the submitted ideas and announced in advance of the meeting. We welcome your suggestions and hope for an invigorating discussion to complement
the opening lecture-recital.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, you are encouraged to listen to the Sibelius concerto’s first movement (it is richly recorded) prior to the meeting, but please refrain from looking at the score—which, after all, most who know the piece haven’t seen!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nathan Pell and Daniel Ketter <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SMT-PAIG Co-Chairs<o:p></o:p></p>
