Methodical Projections: KEIKO ABE – MICHI

Abstract

One of the challenges facing a performer is the variants of performing and addressing a work, depending directly on the various hypostases in which the instrumentalist has to perform (concert, exam, or recording). Michi by Keiko Abe is a work that can be addressed differently depending on the three hypostases. The purpose of the work is to expose the analysis of a famous work dedicated to the marimba (which does not benefit from a wide repertoire except in modern times), and its structure highlights the composer's personality and the stylistic details of the analyzed work.
