Les modèles culturels et historiques dans l’Œuvre pour piano de F.-B. Mâche
“Cultural and Historical Models in François-Bernard Mâche’s Works for Piano” is an article (in French) by Andrew Infanti published in a Festschrift honoring the composer : L’Universel et l'utopique, ed. Danièle Pistone, Paris, Université de Paris-Sorbonne, série “Hommages”, no. 1, 2006, pp. 63-73.
Andrew Infanti participated in a colloquium organized by the Université de Paris-IV Sorbonne (Observatoire Musical Français). His paper intends to contexualize the piano in Mâche’s extant work (in 2006).
The historical status of the instrument (repertoire, musical forms, social practices, etc.) is evoked to show how F.-B. Mâche suggests specific responses to preconceived notions in each of his works involving the piano.
