Abstract
This study explores the technical and musical approaches taken to interpret and perform extended techniques called for in the chosen classical guitar repertoire. In identifying, analysing, and preparing these techniques for performance a distinction is made between prescriptive notation for non-standard performance techniques and text-based i.e. descriptive score annotations that composers use to evoke imagery or moods. This study will explore these two lines of inquiry i.e. the technical problems of extended techniques, and interpretative conundrums in relation to the realisation of descriptive score annotations. The repertoire performed and discussed includes solo works by Nikita Koshkin, Phillip Houghton, Brad Richter, and Richard Charlton as well as the duo composition Casablanca by Jaime Zenamon. This submission for the Master of Philosophy degree (Music Performance) at the Elder Conservatorium of Music, University of Adelaide consists of two recorded recitals supported by a 7,500- word exegesis.
