Gee Gillian, you ask a good question but in an unclear way.
Maybe I'm missing something, but what do you mean by HIP
movement? Are you suggesting that somehow their body motion is
part of their body of performance practice inforrmation?

I cannot believe that Meyer would not have concerned herself with
issues of performance practice, but I am less sure for Brymer and
not sure at all that the subject interested Goodman. I think
that it was terra incognita to him.

I add that Meyer is much more likely to have been interested in
and studied performance practices than Brymer and Goodman because
she is younger. And when she was a student, the subject was hot.
Brymer was a considerably older man and performance practice was
not even a taught discipline when he was a young student.

Subject: [kl] Mozart concerto approaches

Hello all,

You are probably sick of me asking performance practice questions
on this
list but this is the final one, I promise!!!
I have to do a seminar on different approaches of playing the
Mozart
Concerto. I have listened to several recordings, read many
articles, reviews
and messages in the archives and have now have a broad base of
information
and opinions to discuss as well as my own of course.
As part of the seminar I have been assigned the task of comparing
recordings
of Benny Goodman, Jack Brymer and Sabine Meyer in relation to
their
performance intentions.
In all my research, I haven't discovered what Meyer and Brymer's
thoughts
were on the HIP movement when shaping their performance. Does
anybody know
whether trends in performance practice of the Concerto were
important issues
to them ? Also, does anybody know where I can find reviews of
Jack Brymer's
recordings?
If anybody can help, I would appreciate it greatly !!

Thank you

Gillian
