Viktor Lazarov is a classically trained pianist and a fourth year doctoral candidate in musicology at the Faculty of Music of the University of Montreal. His thesis topic is the analysis and teaching of interpretation styles in the performance of baroque music by university-level pianists. Viktor’s thesis explores stylistic, historical and aesthetic issues of interpretation through quantitative methods of performance analysis, an accent- based approach to score interpretation and qualitative descriptions of the creative process and practices by expert musicians.
