Musical interpretation

Musical interpretation is the unique way a musician brings a composition to life, shaping its emotional and expressive qualities. It involves decisions about tempo, dynamics, phrasing, and articulations—how long notes last, how loud or soft they are, and how feelings are conveyed. While the written music provides the structure, interpretation allows each performer to personalizes the piece, adding their own insight and style. This process transforms written notes into a compelling, expressive performance that resonates emotionally with listeners, making each rendition a distinctive artistic statement.
