The following sub-questions are derived from the main question and will be answered accordingly: ... more The following sub-questions are derived from the main question and will be answered accordingly: Chapter 2: Methods of the Renaissance and the Baroque periods What type of sound is produced by different hand positions and why were they used in the Renaissance period? What is the role of right hand fingering in the interpretation of five-course guitar music? Chapter 3: The first six-string masters When were the rest (apoyando) and free stroke (tirando) first mentioned? Why does the sound differ with these two techniques? Chapter 4: Right hand technique from 1850-1900 Who were the first Romantic composers for the guitar? What are the definitive characteristics of Romantic guitar music? Which right hand techniques were used during this time? Chapter 5: Guitar technique and sound production in the early 20 th Century What was Andrés Segovia's technique and why was it so popular? What are the main differences between Pujol and Segovia's techniques? Did people follow Pujol's theories about sound production? Chapter 6: Revolutionary theories about guitar technique and sound production from 1970-1900 Which part of the right hand finger should be used-flesh only, the nail only, or both? What advancements were made on Segovia's technique by Quine, Duarte, Taylor and Carlevaro? CHAPTER 1-INTRODUCTION Faculty of Humanities-Department of Music 4 University of Pretoria Chapter 7: A modern approach to right hand guitar technique and sound production What are the differences between the Open and Closed Hand Schools of Anthony Glise and what sound does each produce? What are the latest theories about guitar technique and sound production? Chapter 8: Conclusion: a summary of the development of right hand guitar technique and sound production 1.5. Research design A chronological literature study will determine how right hand guitar technique developed. The study will avoid repetition of techniques and focus only on new developments and changes in right hand guitar technique. The researcher will explain the main ideas that pedagogues of each era had about right hand technique. The writer will guide the reader through the different periods with a short summary of the novel ideas from each period at the end of each chapter. The research conclusion will summarise the changes that right hand guitar technique has undergone. These tendencies will explain why performers of the guitar use certain right hand positions, and why one player might sound different to another (even on the same instrument). 1.6. Research methodology Raw data will be collected through various searches of guitar methods, history books, journal articles, autobiographies and music scores to find old and new tendencies in the development of right hand guitar technique.
