Thus, the main goal of this dissertation is to offer interpretative ideas based on the analysis of the most important aspects of this aesthetics. For this intent, we have done personal interviews with the composer, performers and scholars. We have also done extensive research in the composer personal files and archives, as well as at the Joaquim Nabuco s Foundation and the Federal University of Pernambuco libraries. The analysis of the piece was focused mainly on the observation of the compositional process, besides the idiomatic use of the instrument and its relationships with popular and folkloric references as agents of the musical style. The hypotheses were evaluated and confirmed empirically, demonstrating the significance of theoretical study, and its relation to interpretative issues, in the search for a better performance. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo abordar os aspectos históricos, estéticos e interpretativos do Concertino em Lá Maior para Violino e Orquestra de Cordas (1996-2001), de Clóvis Pereira, única obra armorial concertante para esse instrumento, bem como criar critérios interpretativos através da análise da obra, dentro da perspectiva violinística. A estratégia metodológica empregada consistiu na pesquisa documental e bibliográfica na Fundação Joaquim Nabuco, na Biblioteca da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco e no acervo particular do compositor, bem como entrevistas não diretivas e dirigidas a intérpretes e outros pesquisadores. A análise da obra consistiu na observação dos processos técnicocomposicionais, no uso dos instrumentos e no correlacionamento dos argumentos e das referências folclórico-populares como agentes do discurso musical do Concertino. As hipóteses foram confirmadas e avaliadas empiricamente e os resultados demonstraram a importância do estudo teórico em música e da consciência interpretativa para uma melhor performance.

Guerra-Peixe, cuja obra “Concertino para violino e Orquestra de Câmara” é abordada nesta pesquisa, contribuiu para a formulação dos caminhos estéticos e estilísticos do Armorial. O Movimento Armorial promoveu a recriação em diversas artes através da modelagem dos elementos das manifestações populares nordestinas. Na música o intuito era o de criar a Música Erudita Nordestina. Visando uma interpretação embasada na estética e no estilo do Movimento Armorial, foi feita uma análise evidenciando os elementos da música popular nordestina presentes na obra, uma pesquisa fonográfica e experimentações com o instrumento rabeca. Esta abordagem serviu de base para consolidar a adaptação timbrística da sonoridade sugerida para a execução na proposta interpretativa que esta pesquisa apresenta. / Guerra-Peixe, wrote the “Concertino for violin and chamber orchestra” during his involvement with the Movimento Armorial. This aesthetic movement in northeastern Brazil strived to recreate the tenets of learned art through the use of popular manifestations. This study presents the Concertino’s performance preparation within the Armorial canon. Analysis of the popular rhythms present in the work as well as recording comparisons and experiments with the Rabeca were the basis for tone modeling in the interpretive decisions presented in this research.

Whether provided by a composer, written out by a performer or completely improvised, the cadenza became a vehicle for performers' creativity, lyricism and technical prowess in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The debate about whether to notate or improvise cadenzas, a question as old as the cadenza itself, continues today. Saxophonists have not been involved in this debate, since the instrument is a product of the mid-nineteenth century and was in its infancy just as the practice of improvising cadenzas was fading. This study documents an unprecedented, recently-recorded, improvised cadenza in one of the most significant twentieth-century saxophone works: Jacques Ibert's Concertino da Camera for Alto Saxophone and Eleven Instruments (1935). Saxophonist Branford Marsalis's neo-cadenza for Ibert's composition presents an aggregate of the twenty-first-century performer improvising a cadenza to a twentieth-century work, in a tradition that was common centuries ago. The document begins with an inquiry into improvised cadenzas, and proceeds to an examination of the performance history of the cadenza for the Concertino da Camera. Twenty professionally-recorded versions of the cadenza are presented in order to understand the performance history of the cadenza, and to place the Marsalis cadenza into context. This research culminates in a transcription and analysis of the cadenza as improvised and recorded by Marsalis. Remarks from a personal interview with Marsalis are also included.

Music written for oboe and orchestra in the nineteenth century falls into three categories: Classical Concerto, Opera Fantasy, and Concertino. The classical, or standard, three movement, sonata-ritornello format was only sparingly used. Instead, composers chose more the experimental forms of the Opera Fantasy and Concertino. The Opera Fantasy was used as a way for oboe players to play popular opera arias of the time, while showcasing their virtuosity and expression. It is in the Concertino where composers expanded the oboe repertoire to its highest form in the nineteenth century, experimenting with structure, and using the oboe to the height of its expressive powers. In addition to discussion on the Concertino in general, performance guides have been provided for two concertinos, Concertino for Oboe and Winds, by Carl Maria von Weber and Concertino for Oboe and Orchestra, Op. 18, by August Klughardt. Information is provided regarding composer biography, compositional/historical perspective, technical and stylistic considerations, and structure. By examining the two very different pieces, one from the beginning of the nineteenth century and one from the end, the evolution of the Concertino can be seen, as well as gaining an understanding of the wide variety of repertoire written for the oboe in the nineteenth century.

The role of the first violinist in a professional symphony orchestra is rarely only to perform. The position of concertmaster, at the professional level, generally constitutes a wide range of responsibilities and activities, not necessarily restricted to the realm of music-making. The present research utilized interviews with five concertmasters of professional Brazilian symphony orchestras in order to respond to the following questions: What is the role of the professional concertmaster? What musical and educational experiences defined the paths of current professional concertmasters in Brazil? What is the scope of their responsibilities as concertmaster? Lastly, what are the expectations of these concertmasters for the future of their own careers, of their Orchestras and of professional Brazilian symphony orchestras in general? After a systematic categorization, twenty-eight professional Brazilian symphony orchestras were identified. The concertmasters of fifteen of these twenty-eight orchestras were contacted with an invitation to participate in a recorded interview. Ultimately, the invitation was accepted by two current and three former professional concertmasters. Analysis of the information gathered through the interviews was further expanded by an investigation into the careers of 16 additional professional concertmasters from various countries who were cited in the present research but not personally interviewed. Several trends were revealed within the life paths and professional perspectives of the concertmasters. Of the five concertmasters interviewed in Brazil, four received musical training outside of South America during their formative years. All five serve or served as music educators in addition to their orchestral work: three at the university level and two with younger students. Only one of the five interviewees passed through a strictly traditional audition process in order to assume the position of concertmaster. Of the 21 professional concertmasters about whom data was collected (including the five interviewees), at least sixteen held the position of concertmaster several times before assuming the role in a prominent orchestra. Five of the 21 concertmasters (including two of the five interviewees) eventually branched into the realm of symphonic conducting, while at least twelve of the 21 did not. Seventeen are or were employed as music professors at the university level. All 21 of the violinists cited within the present research performed solo and/or chamber music regularly throughout their orchestral careers. Ultimately, the interviewees emphasized the following four characteristics as the basic requirements of effective concertmastership at the professional level: (1) technical ability, (2) two-way respect of colleagues, (3) natural leadership/firmness, and (4) a supportive relationship with the conductor.
