B. Yavorsky and his contribution to interpretation of J.S. Bach's WTC
Vorobyeva, Evgenia ; BILINSKÁ, Kvitoslava (advisor) ; KLÁNSKÝ, Ivan (referee)
The aim of this Bachelor’s Thesis is to introduce Yavorsky’s conception of interpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier (WTC) and on the basis of this theory to perform an analysis of the Prelude and Fugue cis-moll from WTC II. According to Yavorsky, music of WTC is not just pure and beautiful music in itself, but it has also deep spiritual content. The theory of Yavorsky is focused on the analysis of WTC in the connection with biblical themes; it looks for the parallels between single preludes and fugues and protestant chorals and discusses WTC's musical speech as a speech of symbols.
The analysis of the Prelude and Fugue cis-moll was performed on the basis of Yavorsky‘s theory as well as from the point of view of the performer and his intuitive feelings. This Analysis contributes to confirmation of usefulness of Yavorsky’s theory and gives opportunity to show, how Yavorsky’s theory could be used in the interpretation of Bach’s works.
To both performers and teachers the presented thesis could give practical directions, which could help to reveal the way of Bach’s musical thinking.
