Description
Summary:This study explores the integration of playing and singing within piano performance, viewing this fusion as a profound expression of both musical and spiritual experience. Through the lens of art philosophy, we examine the mutual enrichment of piano performance and vocal expression, considering their roles in enhancing the depth and emotional resonance of musical presentation. This paper articulates the theoretical underpinnings and practical methodologies for merging perceptual and expressive elements in piano performances, structured around three core areas of practical exploration. By melding theory with practice, we delve into the artistic philosophy that underlies the combination of piano playing and singing, highlighting the holistic nature of music as a form of both artistic and spiritual expression. Playing and singing, while distinct forms of musical articulation, together create a compelling dynamic that is central to the transformative power of music. From the perspective of art philosophy, investigating the interplay between instrumental and vocal music is crucial for advancing our understanding of how these elements can coalesce to enhance spiritual and emotional expression within performances. The primary aim of this paper is to elevate the fusion of expressiveness in piano performance and singing, thereby enriching the spiritual and emotive impact of musical expression through a philosophical exploration of these art forms.
