Abstract
Solo harp performance has gained a tendency towards playing solo piano works on harp. Because of the different technical properties of the two instruments, hence the different way of playing, each individual piano piece requires new solution and cannot solely rely on some previously established universal instruction regarding this matter.
My master thesis consists analysis of Chopin Preludes Op. 28, the analysis that focuses on examining the methods of adjusting elements of musical text for the harp, which can range from the possibility of literal transcribing, to unavoidable deviations from the original due to the technical impossibility of playing the exact musical text.
