A collective description and analysis of the first three Prussian sonatas of Bach

The purpose of this study is to make an investigation of the musical score of "The Passion According to St. Matthew" with attention given to the pictorial elements or symbolism in the composition. The study is confined mainly to the one composition, but attention is given to the historical background of the work, and examples of the pictorial technique of sacred music as it had been developed in the Netherlands.

The purpose of this study is to present a brief history of the work, a discussion of the ornamentation which occurs therein and suggestions for the performance of the ornaments, an analysis covering especially the characteristics of each movement in regard to form and style and inasmuch as possible to show the influence of this early work on the later compositions of J. S. Bach.

O objetivo da presente pesquisa é, decifrando o significado do termo Clavier (-teclado?, em sentido genérico), na obra tecladística de J. S Bach - especialmente nos Prelúdios e Fugas que compõem Das Wohltemperierte Clavier, oder Praeludia und Fugen durch alle Tone und Semitonia - concentrar-se naqueles que apresentam maiores problemas de execução ao cravo e propor uma leitura dessas peças ao órgão de tubos, levando em conta a linguagem instrumental de cada instrumento. / The objective of the present study remains in the meaning of the word Clavier (-keyboard?, in a general sense) in Bach\'s keyboard works - especially the Preludes and Fuges of Das Wolhtemperierte Clavier, oder Praeludia und Fugen durch alle Tone und Semitonia - to focus in those pieces that presents more difficulties to perform on a harpsichord and suggest a pipe organ performance according to each instrumental language.

This investigation deals with three leading representatives of the North German Pre-Clasaical School. The sonatas of W.F. Bach and G. Benda have as yet received little attention. E .Bach, on the other hand, was always regarded as the most influential composer in the early history of the German piano sonata. Nevertheless, the existing literature on C.P.E. Bach is concerned with certain aspects or his works only or is devoted to introductory discussions. The aims of this research is to trace the development of the piano sonata and in particular the evolution of the 'sonata form' within the German Pre-Classical School. The works of W.F. Bach present the earliest stage in this development, which reaches its culmination with C.P.E. Bach. The final consolidation of the sonata form is then achieved in the piano sonatas of G. Benda.

S. Bach (1685-1750) para o violão de onze cordas, no inglês, alto-guitar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa alinhada aos fundamentos da Musicologia Histórica, que resulta em uma série de transcrições, concertos e gravações historicamente orientadas. Entre os referenciais teóricos adotados estão os autores basilares da Musicologia Histórica, como Harnoncourt (1989), Kermann (1987), Yates (2013) e Bartel (1997), além dos autores brasileiros Nogueira (2011), Souto (2015) e Cardoso (2015). Dos aspectos metodológicos, pode-se classificar esta pesquisa como documental, de cunho bibliográfico. No segundo momento, realizou-se uma análise comparativa entre obras barrocas. Este estudo se justifica por contribuir para as discussões acerca do violão de onze cordas, até hoje pouco explorado acadêmica e artisticamente. Podemos citar também a necessidade de ampliação do repertório para este instrumento, além do incremento às possibilidades de pesquisas a respeito do violão de onze cordas. Buscamos com isso aplicar princípios da retórica musical barroca na elaboração de uma performance musical sobre o repertório alemão do século XVIII. O estudo sobre a obra de J. S. Bach, a partir dos elementos retórico-musicais, deram subsídios para melhor compreensão de seus processos composicionais, e à aquisição de ferramentas teóricas norteadoras dos processos de transcrição do repertório barroco. O concerto da defesa de tese apresenta a transcrição para violão de onze cordas da Suite II para Violoncelo de J. S. Bach. A presente pesquisa teve como resultado final a gravação de um CD e de um DVD, nos quais apresento diversas obras barrocas transcritas para violão de onze cordas, sob a perspectiva da performance historicamente orientada. / This thesis discusses the contributions o f musical rhetoric in the transcription processes of the solo repertoire composed by J. S. Bach (1685- 1750) for the eleven-string guitar, or alto- guitar. It is a research based on the grounds of Hi storical Musicology, which results in a series of historically oriented transcriptions, concerts and recordings. Among the theoretical references adopted, we utilized the fundamental authors of His torical Musicology, such as Harnoncourt (1989), Kermann (1987), Yates (2013) and Bartel (1997), bes ides Brazilian authors Nogueira (2011), Souto (2015) and Cardoso (2015). In terms of methodology, one can classify this research as documentary, of bibliographic character. In a secon d moment, we realized a comparative analysis between baroque works. This study is justified by i ts contribution to the discussions about the alto-guitar, until now insufficiently explored acad emically and artistically. We can also cite the nee d to expand the repertoire for this instrument, as we ll as to increase the possibilities for research on alto-guitar. We seek to apply principles of baroque musical rhetoric in the elaboration of a musical performance on the German repertoire of the eightee nth century. The study of the work of J. S. Bach, from the rhetoric-musical elements, gave subs idies for a better understanding of its compositional processes, and the acquisition of the oretical tools guiding the processes of transcription of the baroque repertoire. The thesis defense concert features the transcription for alto-guitar from Cello Suite II by J. S. Bach. The present research resulted in the recording of a CD and a DVD, in which I present several Baroque works transcribed for the alto-guitar, from the perspective of historically oriented performance.

La thèse veut démontrer que toutes les compositions contenues dans L'Art de la Fugue possèdent entre elles des liaisons strictes et essentielles qui vont au-delà de la simple coprésence et/ou élaboration du même sujet, en créant une unité et une progression de la complexité technique dans son évolution. À travers une analyse détaillée de toutes les fugues sur trois niveaux: rythmique, harmonique et morphologique, notre objectif est d’identifier et de cataloguer tous les éléments spécifiques qui créent cette unité, afin d'arriver à la présentation du système des techniques compositionnelles utilisées par le compositeur. Nous proposons des nouveaux outils analytiques pour la compréhension des problématiques majeures liées à l’œuvre, l’ordonnancement du recueil et sa destination instrumentale. / The thesis aims to demonstrate that all the compositions contained in the “Art of Fugue” are bound together by a pattern of tight and essential connections, which go beyond an unstructured co-existence or a simple elaboration of a common subject: they form one unit and are ordered in a sequence of increasing technical complexity.The author makes a detailed analysis of all Fugues at three levels, Rhythm, Harmony and Morphology; he identifies and classifies all elements that create the unit: he presents the method and suite of techniques employed by the composer; finally, he proposes new analytical tools for the comprehension of the main issues related.

The purpose of this dissertation is to present a comparative analysis of the sarabandes from the six cello suites. Six individual analyses each address the following elements: harmonic reduction, the relationship between the large-scale harmonic and metrical structures, the melodic elaboration of the harmonic-metrical structure, and the type and prevalence of sarabande rhythm. A summary at the end of each analysis provides a cumulative comparison of the results. Knowledge gained from this exercise will provide insight into Bach's conception of the genre by identifying both those features that stylistically unify the sarabandes as well as those that make each unique. In addition, the author will demonstrate the relationship between analysis and interpretation, using the sixth sarabande as an example. This interpretive process will also take into account the idiomatic nature of the guitar.
