Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss, having as a starting point Bruce Haynes’ The End of Early Music (2007), the relationship between composer and performer, analyzing how the role of the composer-performer unfolded in two different roles since the rise of Romanticism ideology, in the XIX century. This separation persists today and has many consequences, like the atrophy of improvisation and spontaneous creation in Western concert music. Through the improvised styles of the French harpsichord repertory from the XVII and XVIII centuries, mainly through the French preludes, the economy notation markings will be discussed as an alternative form of reintegrating the composer and performer roles, reestablishing the collaboration, orality, improvisation and spontaneous creation space in the Western concert music scene.
