| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| In Malaysia, the most common piano examination syllabi used by piano teachers
include the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM), Trinity
College London (TRINITY), and London College of Music Examinations (LCM)
(Ang, 2013). A quick search of the syllabi shows that even there contains pieces from
the twentieth century, few use extended techniques, or techniques beyond the
conventional sense. Repertoire examples from the ABRSM examination syllabus
between 2021 and 2022 include Tsunami by Stephen Montague (b. 1943) and
Bamboo Dance II by Chen Yi (b. 1953). Coming from a classical piano background
herself, the researcher would like to set an example for the younger generation in
Malaysia by including piano works by Henry Cowell, György Kurtág, Ge Gan-ru,
Frederic Rzewski, Diana Burrell, George Crumb, and Emma Lou Diemer that use
extended techniques in her recital through practice-led research, having the recital
itself as part of the research output. This study explores four important classifications
(mainly based on Hinkley’s categorisation) of extended piano techniques: 1) on the
piano, 2) inside the piano, 3) choreography, and 4) inside the piano with one hand and
on the keyboard with the other hand. Chapter 1 provide the background and
inspiration of the researcher to explore the techniques, and the final classification of
the extended piano techniques. Chapter 2 provide general information such as the
proper way to play and piano works which include these techniques. Chapter 3
provide methodology and the journey of the exploration. Chapter 4 contains the
analysis of each extended techniques from each piano work in the repertoire. At the
end of the paper, the researcher hope that this study would encourage classical piano
students in Malaysia to learn and explore extended piano techniques, possibly
including these piano works in their own recitals. |
