AB Research on intonation has mainly sought for classifying and/or expressiveexplanations for performers’ strategies. In the field of music psychology and musicperception, such explanations have been explored in terms of interval direction,size, or type; in the field of performance analysis, to which this article belongs,investigation on intonation has been not only scarce but also limited to short excerpts.In this context, this article explores Pau Casals’ intonational practice specific to hisrecording of Bach’s E flat major prelude for solo cello. To do so, on the basis of exact empirical measurements, it places such practice alongside the cellist’s conscious,theoretical recommendations apropos what he called “expressive” string intonation,showing that the interpretation of the latter should is not straightforward. It alsoproposes several reference points and tuning systems which could serve as modelsfor Casals’ practice and looks for explanations beyond simple interval classification. Inthis manner, it ultimately proposes a structural function for intonation, in partnershipwith tempo and dynamics. Similarly, it understands Casals’ intonational practice not asa choice between but as "a compromise for multiple options" in tuning systems (mostly equaltemperament and Pythagorean tuning), reference points (the fundamental note of thechord and the immediately preceding tone), the nature of the compositional materials(harmonic and melodic), and, most importantly, structure and expression.
