MUSIC 150 Lecture Notes - Trauermusik, Staccato, Legato
Document Summary
Yevgeny kutik"s performance environment was significantly different than that of the. Kutik performed during lecture, where he was set up on a much smaller stage. He stood in street clothes, addressing not only a smaller audience, but a more compact one, as well. The stage was not very high off the ground, therefore, the audience was closer to the stage and kutik. He addressed us as he would if he were in a casual conversation, able to make eye contact with many in the audience. The interaction between kutik and the audience was personal and informal. The lecture hall is easy to fill with light, even when the spotlight is focused on the stage, so the contrast between the audience and stage is less noticeable than it would be in a concert hall. Kutik stood center stage, just to the left and slightly in front of the pianist.
