This reprint includes an introduction of the Concord Sonata in historical context by Stephen Drury, an expert in Ives’ music, and complete Essays Before a Sonata written by Ives and published by The Knickerbocker Press in 1920, which is not included in the original and the 1947 revised editions.Despite the significance and symbolism that only can be seen in the 2012 edition, performers today primarily follow the 1947 edition of Concord Sonata as Ives thoroughly revised to restore his original idea of the work, mainly in the “Emerson” movement. Therefore, many have yet to pay attention and conduct less research on the 2012 reprint. To fill this lacuna, this document provides the comparison between the 1947 and 2012 editions of the Concord Sonata to make the 2012 reprint more widely acknowledged and to allow performers to use the reprint efficiently with the 1947 edition. A performance suggestion of each edition also aids pianists in interpreting Ives’ musical intent and developing diverse approaches to the work. 2021-09-27 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1627668113898801 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1627668113898801 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
