Western music scholarship tends to privilege the notion of music as text, rather than music as performance. Furthermore, even in performance research, the focus is typically on the listener's perception of music, while the performer's experience during performance often does not receive adequate attention. Informed by the perspective of embodied cognition, this dissertation introduces the concept of "gestural narrative" and investigates its viability for performance research from the performer's point of view. Chapter 1 reviews the literature on the concepts of "gesture" and "narrative", exploring their relevance to the examination of the performer's embodied experience of music. As a preliminary case study, I consider how Chopin's Second Ballade could be interpreted as a gestural narrative. Beethoven's Piano Sonata, Op. 109 is the focus of Chapters 2 to 6. While Chapter 2 offers a detailed score-based analysis of the sonata as a gestural narrative by identifying salient gestures and outlining how the evolution of these gestures articulates a narrative archetype across the entire piece, Chapters 3 to 6 provide thorough video-based observational analyses of performances of Op. 109 by Chairat Chongvattanakij, Claudio Arrau, Daniel Barenboim, and Glenn Gould, discussing the extent to which each of the four performances can be interpreted as following the gestural narrative proposed in Chapter 2. While Chapter 2 is informed by traditional music theory and recent scholarship in music and narrative, Chapters 3 to 6 draw on Laban Movement Analysis and Paul Ekman's research on facial expression to provide a working framework for understanding the dynamics and possible meanings of each performer's gestures. Moreover, for the performances by Arrau, Barenboim, and Gould, observational analysis is supplemented by the consultation of various documents about and by these performers, as I aimed to establish an empathic connection with each performer in order to experience his performance from his perspective. Chapter 7 summarizes the research results and draws conclusions about music as gestural narrative.
