A Creative Approach to Music Interpretation seeks to establish interpretation as a core, explicit component of the classical music curriculum. This book introduces readers to definitions, traditions, and value systems related to interpretation, alongside practical approaches for engaging with it. These strategies range from working with the score through narratives and expectations to exploring performance, performer identity, and the contextualization of concerts. An accompanying website directs readers to the recordings and other online examples discussed throughout the book. By offering a structured and comprehensive resource, A Creative Approach to Music Interpretation empowers educators and students alike to engage deeply with the art of interpretation.
