Abstract:
My thesis comprises two components: a recital and a research paper. The first part, a recital of about forty-five minutes to an hour, represents the creative aspect and the bulk of my preparation and work. The second part represents the historical and analytical research I undertook to better interpret and understand the meaning and structure of the works I performed. As a result, my thesis combines research and creative elements, creating a final product that shows both my musical depth and my intellectual and academic ability.
