Performance synchronization in piano and vocal collaboration: A comparative study of rhythm and dynamics in art song performance (http://doi.org/10.63386/620384)

This study focuses on the expressive synchronization between piano and vocal performance in art song interpretation, with rhythm and dynamics as core research elements. It constructs a theoretical framework for their synchronization through analyzing the “framework and flow” relationship in rhythmic interactions and the multidimensional coordination patterns in dynamic synchronization. The research elucidates how rhythmic synchronization enhances musical clarity and emotional delivery efficiency, while dynamic synchronization plays a crucial role in amplifying emotional resonance and shaping artistic coherence. A practical strategy combining “cognition-training-practice” approaches is proposed, encompassing collaborative techniques, tiered practice methods, and instructional pathways. This systematic theoretical support and practical guidance provide comprehensive theoretical underpinning for improving collaborative expressiveness in art song performances, thereby deepening our understanding of the aesthetics of piano-vocal collaboration.
