Abstract
This project proposes an emancipation of the performer in the context of piano duets that provides new creative perspectives focused on usually unexploited margins of action. Specifically, I intend to explore in the duet repertoire the potential of preludes and interludes to reconfigure the structure and style of the work; ornamentation as a key to personalize and nuance the text; and, finally, the performance of cadences in fermatas. In the context of chamber music this creative attitude towards the musical text is still little explored and more particularly in the case of piano duets it is almost non-existent. This challenge brings with it a lack of responses and strategies that allow negotiating reinterpretations and reconfigurations of the repertoire.
