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