'Preview in piano sight-reading performance'. I am investigating how far skilled and less-skilled sight-readers need to look ahead in music notation to maintain optimum performance levels, using scores of a range of complexity and musical structure. Other related work concerns the extent to which observed skill differences result from perceptual or movement planning/performance factors. |

'The Clarinet in Greece: The performing evolution of the instrument through orchestral pieces influenced by regional traditional music, and related issues based on selected works.' The clarinet in Greece developed differently from the traditional clarinet (klarino). However, many composers such as Skalkottas and Kalomiris have composed orchestral pieces based on folk melodies. This thesis partly questions whether contemporary composers such as Sfetsas follow the same principals. The main aim is to examine the performing evolution of the clarinet through a selection of solo pieces, duets and trios written by Greek composers: Antoniou, Konstantinides, Dragatakis and Amarantidis. |
