Att spela Bach på marimba

Abstract (Swedish)
Det här är den reflekterande delen av mitt examensarbete på Kandidatutbildningen i Symfoniorkesterinstrument, Slagverk, vid Musikhögskolan i Malmö, Lunds Universitet. Det finns inget vedertaget sätt för slagverkare att spela J.S Bachs musik på, trots att det i allra högsta grad ingår i repertoaren. Genom att skapa mig en större förståelse för barockens interpretationspraxis och olika tolkningar av Bachs musik, vill jag klargöra vad det finns för olika för- och nackdelar med att transkribera barockmusik till marimba och vad det har för påverkan på hur musiken upplevs. Arbetet är centrerat kring Bachs Chaconne ur Violinpartita nr. 2 och ifrågasätter huruvida det går att bibehålla barockens stilmedel på ett modernt instrument.

There is no commonly accepted way of playing J.S Bach's music on percussion instruments, even though his music, to a very high degree, has come to be a part of most percussionists repertoire. By widening my understanding of the practice of baroque music and different interpretations of Bach's music in particular, I want to sort out what pros and cons there are to transcribing baroque music for the marimba, and figure out what impact it has on how the music is perceived.
