A Sonata para Violoncelo e Piano de Almeida Prado merece ocupar um papel de destaque na produção recente para o Violoncelo. Esse trabalho servirá como ponto de apoio para violoncelistas interessados na performance da Sonata, bem como à instrumentistas de cordas que buscam melhor compreender as peculiaridades da interpretação das peças deste compositor. O procedimento metodológico constou de quatro etapas. Em primeiro lugar foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico explorando os autores que discorreram sobre a vida e obra de Almeida Prado. Em um segundo momento, foram coletados dados através de entrevistas e aulas com o compositor e entrevistas com Sonia Rubinsky, pianista responsável pela estreia e encomenda da obra. Na terceira etapa, a peça foi apresentada em diferentes ocasiões, incluindo um recital com a pianista Rubinksy. Estas experiências, juntamente com os dados coletados, resultaram na edição da parte de Violoncelo e gravação em vídeo. Por fim, foi realizada uma análise técnico/interpretativa da obra, utilizando-se dos dados coletados nas entrevistas, pesquisa bibliográfica e recitais. / The Sonata for Cello and Piano de Almeida Prado deserves to occupy a prominent position in the recent production for Cello. This work will serve as support for cellists interested in the performance of the Sonata, as well as string instrumentalists seeking to better understand the peculiarities of interpretation of this composer\'s works. The methodological procedure consisted of four stages. First off a review of the literature was conducted exploring the authors who wrote about the life and work of Almeida Prado. Secondly, data was collected through interviews and lessons with the composer, as well as interviews with Sonia Rubinsky, pianist responsible for the premiere and commission of the sonata. In the third stage, the piece was presented on several occasions, including a recital with pianist Rubinksy. These experiences, together with the collected data, resulted in the edition of the Cello part and a video recording. Finally, a technical/interpretive analysis of the work was carried out, utilizing the data collected during the interviews, bibliographic research and recitals.

Este trabalho irá discutir o emprego da forma sonata na música atonal da primeira metade do século XX a partir das análises das seguintes sonatas para piano: Opus No. 1 de Alban Berg, Opus 33a de Arnold Schoenberg e a Sonata 1942 de Cláudio Santoro. Em comum estas obras apresentam seu plano estrutural de forma sonata resultante de procedimentos composicionais desligados do sistema de funcionalidades do tonalismo. O objetivo será verificar como a forma sonata pode ser estruturada a partir de técnicas dodecafônicas, qual a relevância do uso desta forma clássica para a técnica empregada e através de quais procedimentos construtivos esta forma se faz possível dentro de uma linguagem atonal, já que se origina da realização da harmonia tonal tradicional. A pesquisa fundamenta-se em ferramentas analíticas e em corpo teórico desenvolvido na área musicológica nas últimas décadas, principalmente. Como conclusão irá apresentar os elementos composicionais e conceituais que conectam as obras entre si e com a tradição clássica da forma sonata, além de apontar para a ocorrência de técnicas composicionais importantes para o desenvolvimento da música a partir da primeira metade do século XX. / This thesis studies the use of Sonata form in the atonal music of the first half of the XXth Century, based in the analysis of the following Piano Sonatas: Alban Bergs Opus 1, Arnold Schoenbergs Op.33a e Claudio Santoros Sonata 1942. These works share procedures of developing structural plans similar to Sonata forms that use compositional procedures disconnected from the functions of the tonal system. Our main purpose will be to verify how a Sonata may be structured after dodecaphonic techniques. Other goals is to evaluate the relevance of the use of a classical form for the method of the dodecaphonic technique, and what are the developing procedures that allow this form to be employed in the atonal language, since it originated in close connection with the traditional tonal harmony. The research is based in analytical techniques and in the body of knowledge developed by recent musicological analysis. As a conclusion it presents the compositional and conceptual elements that connect the three works and also each of them with the classical tradition of the Sonata form. Besides that it points also to the use of compositional techniques important for the development of the musical language after the first half of the XXth Century.

This dissertation analyzes the first movements of three chamber works -- the Piano trio (1914), the Duo for violin and cello (1920-22), and the Sonata for violin and piano (1923-27) -- and situates their harmonic procedures in relation to important developments within Parisian musical culture. Chapter 1 explores Ravel's early harmonic style, in particular, how he blends nontonal harmonic procedures and tonality within the framework of the sonata as seen in the first movements of his String quartet and Sonatine. Chapter 2 analyzes the Piano trio, which culminates the early phase of Ravel's career with a sophisticated amalgamation of pre-war musical trends, such as extended harmonies and formal inventiveness, with an early wartime emphasis on reduced textures and melodic primacy. In the post-war years, Ravel was forced to adjust to a new role, in which he was no longer at the forefront of musical developments, but rather the follower of a group of young, avant-garde composers. His two post-war compositions, the Duo for violin and cello and the Violin sonata, articulate the struggles he faced with composition in the 1920s. Criticized for having an out-moded aesthetic, he modified his compositional style by incorporating and adapting new harmonic techniques. Drawing on Peter Kaminsky's theory of monotonality and dual pitch organization, chapter 3 examines Ravel's harmonic language in the Duo through linear analysis. Ravel's attempt to incorporate contemporary harmonic procedures however was not sufficient to compete with the more progressive works of Les Six or Stravinsky's burgeoning neoclassicism. As a result, Ravel re-evaluated his craft by rethinking his engagements with the musical avant-garde. The analysis of the Violin sonata in chapter 4 reveals that harmonically, deeper levels of dissonance require pitch prioritization intimately bound to formal function. Unlike the Duo, Ravel presents a more innovative formal design in the Violin sonata, where boundaries are blurred and formal functions are juxtaposed. Chapter 5 concludes with a comparative analysis of the first movements of Ravel's Piano trio, Duo and Violin sonata and their evolving harmonic practices. / text

Many have noted nineteenth-century composers' tendency to undermine crucial formal boundaries normally found in eighteenth-century sonata forms. This dissertation examines phenomena that undermine the demarcation between the expositional secondary theme and closing section. In this document I refer to such events as "S-C Complications." In their Elements of Sonata Theory: Norms, Types, and Deformations in the Late-Eighteenth-Century Sonata (2006), James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy argued that this point of articulation plays a much more crucial role than that of merely forming a boundary between S- and C-space. Rather, it serves as the goal for the entire expositional trajectory, a goal whose presence is felt from the very outset of the movement. The authors refer to this moment as "essential expositional closure," or EEC. In this dissertation I attempt to show what role EEC in Hepokoski and Darcy's sense plays in nineteenth-century movements featuring S-C Complications. I conclude that nineteenth-century composers were very likely aware of the EEC's genre-defining status since they consistently and systematically undermined it. Further, whereas in the late-eighteenth-century repertoire S-C complications were rarely employed, in the nineteenth century they became more normative, and thus non-deformational. In addition to discussing the phenomena's dialogic relationship with eighteenth-century norms, I also address their effect on tonal structure and formal syntax, concluding that S-C Complications frequently have the effect of expanding closure beyond the scope of one cadence. For practical reasons I have limited the scope of this study to non-concerto movements written primarily by Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Brahms.

The purpose of this study is to define the French sonatina of the twentieth century, to expose those works which are most suitable for concert performances, and to provide a resource for teachers and performers. Of the seventy-five scores available to the writer, five advanced-level piano sonatinas of the twentieth century were chosen as the best of those by French composers, in attractiveness and compositional craftsmanship: Maurice Ravel's Sonatine (1905), Maurice Emmanuel's Sonatine VI VI(1926), Noel Gallon's Sonatine (1931), Alexandre Tansman's Troisieme Sonatine (1933), and Jean-Michel Damase's Sonatine (1991). The five works were analyzed, with a focus on compositional techniques used to create unity in the work. In comparison to the classical model of the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, the French sonatina of the twentieth century exhibits four new features. First, it is more expansive in length and has greater philosophical depth. Second, there is an emphasis on unity at the motivic and thematic levels in which the development of material, based on the techniques discussed, occurs throughout a movement instead of being limited to a "development" section. Third, the formal structures are more flexible, allowing for cyclic quotations and the accommodation of varying styles. Fourth, the advanced technical skills indicate that these compositions are intended not as pedagogical pieces but as concert works. Chapter I introduces the topic, stating the purpose and need of the study. Chapter II presents a brief history of the sonatina, with particular attention given to the sonatina line France, and background information on each of the five composers. Chapters III through VII are each devoted to an analytical discussion of one of the five sonatinas. Conclusions based on the analyses are given in Chapter VIII. Appendices included an annotated listing, by composer, of all French sonatinas which were involved in the research and a selected discography.
