| description | This paper examines the contribution of the toy piano to the dramaturgy of piano recitals. As a starting point for the study, the concept of artform recital is introduced, as the understanding that all elements come together with the music programme to build the listening experience. In order to weave all these elements together coherently, it is then proposed the application of ideas from dramaturgy. Three piano recitals are observed as case studies, demonstrating how the addition of toy piano performances can contribute to the dramaturgy of recitals by offering a distinct visual interest, allowing other possibilities of exploration of the space of performance and of the pianist’s body movement, suggesting emotional connotations to the listening experience, and by working as a key element in the structure of the programme. |
