Abstract

This research opens up a space for discourse on the existence of various perspectives of musicians and the community regarding the dominance of instruments. They believe that there is one instrument that has a higher 'value' than other instruments. In this case, ‘value’ can be interpreted as dominance, tendency, ‘primacy’, ‘existence’ and ‘position’ within a band or musical ensemble. The urgency of this research is to see to what extent this dominance is interpreted in a musical performance by musicians, the general public, and how this is connected to the concept of 'equality' from an instrumentation perspective. Something that becomes ‘blurry’ when an instrument is debated without a ‘balanced’ indicator or is diminuted from the character of the instrument.

Abstract

This study examines vocal technique and expressive interpretation in the performance of the Batak popular song “Ganjang Ma Umurmi” composed by Osen Hutasoit. While previous studies on vocal performance primarily emphasize technical mastery in classical or choral contexts, limited scholarly attention has been given to the integration of vocal technique and interpretative expression in contemporary Batak popular repertoire. This research aims to analyze how technical elements—posture, diaphragmatic breathing, articulation, intonation, resonance, and dynamics—function not only as mechanical vocal strategies but also as embodied expressive devices that shape musical meaning. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through performance observation, in-depth interviews, score analysis, and documentation of a recital performance at GBI Pelita IV. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the effective performance of this song requires a synergistic integration between technical control and emotional interpretation, particularly in handling modulation, sustained high-register passages, and dynamic contrast. Vocal technique operates as an expressive medium that constructs intimacy, sincerity, and emotional resonance within the performance. This study contributes to the discourse on vocal pedagogy and performance studies by highlighting the role of embodied technique in shaping interpretative meaning in regional popular music. The novelty of this research lies in its contextual focus on Batak popular repertoire and its analytical integration of technical and expressive dimensions in performance practice

Abstract

This study examines the playing techniques and musical presentation of Nocturne No. 20 in C-Sharp Minor by Frederic Chopin when performed on the violin. Although originally composed for piano, this work has frequently been adapted for violin performance, presenting specific technical and interpretative challenges for performers. The purpose of this research is to analyze the violin playing techniques and expressive elements required to perform the piece effectively. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach through musical analysis and literature review, supported by observations of the rehearsal and performance process. The analysis focuses on several important techniques applied in the performance, including legato, triplet, and trill techniques, as well as the use of musical dynamics such as piano, mezzo forte, diminuendo, and tempo indications like meno mosso. The findings show that the primary technical challenge in performing this work lies in maintaining smooth legato phrasing while preserving expressive musical interpretation. In addition, the performer must control bow pressure, finger placement, and rhythmic accuracy to achieve the expressive character typical of Chopin’s romantic musical style. The study demonstrates that the integration of technical mastery and musical interpretation plays a crucial role in delivering a convincing violin performance of Nocturne No. 20 in C-Sharp Minor. These findings contribute to the understanding of violin performance practices in adapting Romantic piano repertoire to violin interpretation
