Tiivistelmä
This layered autoethnography comprises momentary scenes connected to musical pieces
for cello that are engraved in my memory and on the calluses of my fingertips by
significant physical, emotional, and motivational experiences that have accompanied me
since my youth. My artful methodology invokes truthful memory through sound to
compose a “methodology of the heart” (Pelias 2004). I thus blend music “epiphonies” and
stories with past and present moments to create a thickness of duration, an épaisseur. I
purposely used intersubjectivity as an evocative sensitivity when analyzing
autobiographical memories to interpret cultural assumptions in the field of music
education and classical music performance. These assumptions include the importance
of being ‘talented’, the exposure to external stressors and competitiveness, and the
imbalance of power relations between teachers and students. My aim is to expand
understandings of forms of arts research, and to highlight certain pedagogical and social
practices in the education of classical musicians that can compromise their well-being
and identity construction.
