We attempt to break the disciplinary boundaries of literature and music, reading the literary texts of Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing and Romeo and Juliet alongside the musical texts of Korngold's Much Ado and Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. We examine how the composers translate Shakespeare's literary language into the musical language of emotion and psychology. This public lecture is constitutive of three parts: 1. Dr Chi-fang Sophia Li's introductory talk; 2. Dr Yu-wen Chen's talk of the musical translation; and 3. the performance of the violin suites Much Ado and Romeo and Juliet by the violinist Dr Yu-wen Chen and the pianist Dr Pei-chi Hung.

While most modern scholars, empowered by Shakespeare’s thought, ‘cling at all costs to the post-Romantic image of him as a solitary genius who has no need of aid from lesser mortals’ (Brian Vickers, Shakespeare, Co-author, 2002), some leading researchers have attempted to place Shakespeare among his collaborative playwrights and attempted to construct the theatrical dialogue between them. I want to take the opportunity of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death to reflect on the significance of memorializing Shakespeare by asking an important question that has intrigued the entire theatrical community for years: ‘How much do we know the ways in which Shakespeare’s contemporaries made of him in their theatrical dialogue?’
I will first address the fundamental nature of collaborative playwriting where Shakespeare, like his colleagues, played a part. I will then trace evidence of the ways in which Shakespeare’s playwrights respond to his works, which constitute ‘proper knowledge’ set between texts and lives as legitimated by Richard Wheeler. This talk hopes to introduce new research directions in a broader context that will shed new light on what we want to know about Shakespeare’s life and work.
