The recent interest in sound recordings has given rise to the curious notion that, within the canon of western art music, works are generally performed slower today than in the earlier part of the century. However, the principal concern of this dissertation stems from weaknesses in the methods often utilized to arrive at this conclusion. Specifically, most studies are based on selected performances rather than comprehensive evaluations of individual works.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The recent interest in sound recordings has given rise to the curious notion that, within the canon of western art music, works are generally performed slower today than in the earlier part of the century. However, the principal concern of this dissertation stems from weaknesses in the methods often utilized to arrive at this conclusion. Specifically, most studies are based on selected performances rather than comprehensive evaluations of individual works.
520 $a The principal goals of this dissertation are: (1) to develop a methodology for establishing trends with regard to temporal change, (2) to determine significant changes in the temporal paradigm for Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring over the course of its recorded history (1929-1993), (3) to identify specific areas wherein such change has taken place, (4) to attempt to understand why any transformations have occurred, (5) to determine what new insights and/or questions might spring from an inquiry of this nature.
520 $a Chapter 2 presents the timings for all sections of The Rite as recorded since 1929. The data indicates that The Rite was generally performed faster during the first half of the century. Focusing on sections exhibiting a marked trend toward slower tempi, Chapter 3 provides graphic illustrations of temporal patterns via a computer program called Tempo Mapper. This program plots the time intervals between successive beats thus providing an excellent means of correlating aspects of the notated score with performance.
520 $a Chapter 4 discusses possible reasons for slower tempi (i.e., changes in recording technology and conductorial style) and also examines the extent to which the written literature supports the findings of the previous chapters. Chapter 5 explores several questions regarding music as written vs music as performed, and presents the following conclusions with regard to The Rite of Spring specifically: (1) Longer durations of more recent performances of The Rite can be attributed to a growing number of slower interpretations of the slow sections. (2) The trend in slower interpretations has been accompanied by an increased expressiveness of style. (3) In some sections there has been a narrowing of interpretative variety with regard to overall tempo.
