However, this beloved sonata presents many puzzles and challenges for the thoughtful performer. This thesis came about because of those puzzles and challenges. One of the most exciting and innovative directions in music scholarship has come from the feminist movement and its many influences on the way scholars look at, talk about, listen to, and perform music. Feminist music theory steps outside the bounds of traditional techniques, seeking ways to offer new kinds of music analysis that may have more value to a wider audience. This thesis begins with an overview of feminist waves, terms, and philosophies before moving to how feminism has influenced music scholarship. The second chapter explores feminist music theory, citing examples of analysis from important feminist music scholars and drawing conclusions about the nature and work of feminist music theory. The third chapter presents an analysis of Poulenc’s oboe sonata, drawing primarily upon feminist techniques but not neglecting traditional theoretical systems when appropriate. The analysis begins by discussing Poulenc’s contextuality, personal life, and musical style, and then proceeds to deconstruct the music. In the process, Poulenc’s affinity for creating art through music, and for creating dramatic musical narrative in instrumental music, are brought to the forefront. 2006-07-19 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1148187368 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1148187368 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
