The Interpretation of Open Scores

The bachelor’s diploma thesis titled The Interpretation of Open Scores (2019) addresses the challenges faced by performers when working with open scores, particularly those involving graphic notation. The objectives of this work are to provide readers with an overview of the historical development of this musical phenomenon, to highlight significant composers in the field, and to explore key questions related to the topic. Additionally, to illustrate the findings, two specific examples are examined: Coeur by Sylvano Bussotti and Studie pro bicí nástroje by Lucie Chrápavá.
