From Intermedial Music to Interactive Multimedia Event: the Performance of Ravel’s Miroirs

SUMMARY

ABSTRACT: The intermedial interplay between music, image and text in French Impressionist music has the potential to fuel original and innovative multimedia performances, but the contextual and theoretical analysis of the multimedia reformatting of such traditional concert repertoire has yet to be made. Addressing problems of musical ontology and musical hermeneutics which are at the heart of today’s contemporary classical music performance culture, I focus on the aesthetic consequences of a move from implicit intermediality to explicit multimediality in the performance of Ravel’s collection for piano solo, Miroirs. So doing, I seek to redefine the artistic function of the performer and sow the seeds of a theory of the multimedia piano recital.___________________________________________________________________RESUMEN: La interacción entre música, imagen y texto en la música impresionista francesa tiene el suficiente potencial para originar representaciones multimedia innovadoras, sin embargo, queda aún por hacer el necesario análisis contextual y teórico del reformateado multimedia de tal repertorio clásico para concierto. Partiendo de cuestiones de ontología y hermenéutica musical que constituyen el eje central de la cultura de la interpretación musical contemporánea, se exploran las consecuencias estéticas de sustituir una intermedialidad implícita por unamultimedia explícita en la interpretación de la colección de solos para piano de Ravel, Miroirs. De esta manera, se intenta redefinir la función artística del interprete y sentar las bases de una teoría multimedia para los conciertos de piano.
