Este trabalho apresenta uma análise da Sonata para piano sobre tema de Bartók op.45 (2003) do compositor Marlos Nobre (1939) com o objetivo de identificar os elementos apropriados do primeiro movimento do Concerto para Orquestra (1943) do compositor húngaro Béla Bartók (1881-1945) e investigar como esses elementos são inseridos e metamorfoseados na linguagem de Nobre. Foram utilizados como referenciais teóricos os autores Straus (1990) e Hyde (1996) que estudam o fenômeno da intertextualidade na música. Este trabalho divide-se em duas etapas: a primeira consiste em uma revisão da literatura sobre a intertextualidade na música e sobre estilos e influências detectadas nos processos composicionais e a segunda, em uma análise formal, intertextual e comparativa entre a Sonata op. 45 de Nobre e o Concerto de Bartók. / This dissertation, while presenting an analysis of Sonata para piano sobre tema de Bartok op. 45 (2003) composed by Marlos Nobre (1939), aims at identifying elements appropriated from the first movement of Concerto for Orchestra (1943) composed by the Hungarian Bela Bartok (1881-1945). Based on works by Straus (1990) and Hyde (1996), phenomena identified as intertextuality in music establish the main focus of this text divided into two mains sections. The first section deals with a review of the literature geared to the study of intertextuality in music, as well as aspects of style and matters of influence within the compositional processes. The second section offers a formal, intertextual and comparative analysis of Nobre´s Sonata op. 45 in relation to Bartok´s Concerto for Orchestra.

O presente trabalho avaliou a aplicabilidade do modelo de guias de execução de Roger Chaffin como estratégia para a memorização do segundo movimento da sonata para piano nº 2 de Dmitri Shostakovich.

V (1746), de Francesco Geminiani (1687-1762), no que concerne especificamente ao seu estilo. Para alcançar este objetivo, foram utilizados do mesmo autor A Treatise of the Good Taste in the Art of Musick (Londres, 1749), The Art of Playing on the Violin (Londres, 1751), assim como transcrições da obra para o violino e para o cravo. Estes proporcionaram a base para discussões de caráter prático referentes à ornamentação e à condução do arco. As Sonatas Op. V se destacam dentro do repertório italiano do século XVIII para o violoncelo, por sua densidade musical e sua notação minuciosa. Assim, a investigação dos artifícios composicionais empregados por Geminiani, a contextualização histórica e biográfica da obra, somadas aos preceitos contidos nos tratados do autor, foram determinantes para a compreensão de seu gosto - termo empregado na época estreitamente associado ao estilo, conhecimento e julgamento. O exame dos recursos composicionais empregados por Geminiani no Op. V revelam uma reunião de gostos distintos - estilo patético, francês, italiano - harmonizados na forma híbrida constituída pela Sonata da Chiesa e Sonata da Camara. Estão representados também formas e estruturas composicionais como: música de dança, forma de concerto, contraponto e homofonia. Concomitantemente, observamos a adaptabilidade do compositor que, considerado um "embaixador" da escola italiana nos países onde viveu - Inglaterra, França, e Irlanda - não se ateve somente a ela. No século XVIII, o pioneirismo e a produção musical italiana do repertório e da execução dos instrumentos da família do violino foram reverenciados e adotados como modelo para os outros países. Entretanto, Geminiani caminha em uma direção independente da maioria dos seus contemporâneos, adotando em suas composições caracteres musicais de outros países, sem abandonar por completo as convicções da escola italiana no que tange à execução e ao ensino de seu instrumento. A conclusão é de que as Sonatas Op. V expõem inúmeros recursos idiomáticos do instrumento e apresentam sua adaptabilidade aos gostos vigentes na época. No entanto, a sua interpretação deve ser fundamentada na escola italiana de execução, a qual é defendida por Geminiani com inabalável convicção. Palavras-chave: Geminiani, Sonatas para violoncelo, Gosto, Interpretação, Crítica / Abstract: This thesis was written with the objective of providing information to cellists regarding the interpretation of the Six Sonates Pour le Violoncelle et Basse Continue Op. V (London, 1746) by Francesco Geminiani (1687-1762), specifically concerning its style. In achieving this objective, the following texts were used: A Treatise of Good Taste in the Art of Musick (London, 1749), The Art of Playing on the Violin (London, 1751), by the same author, as well as transcriptions of the work for violin and for harpsichord. These treatises provided the basis for discussions regarding performance practice and technical issues like: ornamentation and management of the bow. The Sonatas Op. 5 distinguishes themselves within the Italian cello repertory of the 18th century due to their musical density and meticulous notation. Thus, the investigation of the compositional artifices employed by Geminiani, the historical and biographical context of his work in addition to the rules elaborated in the author's treatises, were determinative in the understanding of his taste - a term used in the era strictly associated with style, knowledge and judgment. The examination of the compositional resources used by Geminiani in the Op. 5 reveals a union of distinctive styles: the "pathetic", French and Italian styles, united in a hybrid form constituting the Sonata da chiesa and Sonata da camara. Forms and genres such as polyphony, homophony, dance and concerto forms are represented in the Op. 5 Sonatas as well. At the same time we observe the adaptability of the composer, who, considered an "ambassador" of the Italian school in the countries in which he lived, namely England, France and Ireland, did not completely keep himself adhered only to it. In the 18th century, the Italian musical production and its pioneering role in the development of the repertory and performance of the instruments of the violin family was reverentiated and adopted as the model for the other European countries. However, Geminiani went in another direction, independent of the majority of his contemporaries, adopting in his compositions the musical characteristics of other countries, without completely abandoning the convictions of the Italian school in reference to the performance and pedagogy of his instrument. One must conclude that the Op. 5 Sonatas exposes innumerable idiomatic resources of the instrument and demonstrates its adaptability to the prevailing tastes of that era. However, its interpretation must be based on the Italian school of execution which is defended by Geminiani with the unshakable conviction.

This treatise aims to uncover possible reasons as to why composers rework their compositions. In attempting to answer questions regarding musical and extra-musical (referential) criteria, surrounding conditions and the role performers play in acting as conduits of the aforementioned, the study focuses on three versions of Rachmaninoff’s second Piano Sonata, opus 36. The first of these was composed in 1913, the second constitutes the composer’s revision of this work in 1931, and the third, a subsequent amalgamation of both previously mentioned versions by pianist Horowitz in 1943. The research is grounded in the theoretical ideas of organicist musical structuralism and thematic/motivic transformation (Reti), musical hermeneutics and phenomenology, musical forces (Larsen) and authenticity in musical performance (Taruskin). In addition this study explores methods of critical reading that may be used to disclose the conflicting yet complementary demands of “conciseness” and “drama” contained within the parameters of the three aforementioned versions of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Sonata Op. 36. An introductory chapter is followed by one in which a historical context provides the intertextual matrix against which the musical personae of Rachmaninoff and Horowitz, as well as the three versions of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Sonata Op. 36, may be understood. The chapter thereafter provides a concise overview of the history of musical analysis and the Tendenzwende which signified the change from a purely positivistic analytical approach to a post-modernist perspective on musical critique, against which background a motivation is provided for the analytical approaches applied in this treatise. Chapters 4 and 5 present detailed readings of the sonata from the perspective of “conciseness” and “drama” respectively. In conclusion, the final chapter reflects on findings made and conclusion drawn, with particular reference to the authenticity debate in current musicological discourse.

Composer William Bolcom (1938-) has shown a remarkable capacity for incorporating disparate materials and combining them to create original compositions, while often using traditional genres and forms. This style has earned Bolcom the reputation as a leading composer of American postmodernism. This study provides a brief sketch of Bolcom's development as a postmodern composer, his repertoire for violoncello and piano, and it examines his compositional style as applied in his Sonata for Violoncello and Piano (1989). In the Sonata Bolcom applies a wide variety of musical vocabulary from serious and popular traditions. He juxtaposes contrasting ideas to create and resolve rhythmic, melodic and harmonic tensions and amalgamates concepts of three centuries of music history into one new integral work. All these disparate elements with classical, romantic, impressionist, expressionist, modernist and popular connotations are molded together to form a serious piece of musi c with a sense of humor. The three contrasting movements of the Sonata share many common rhythmic, melodic and harmonic traits. The movements form a congruent work of Classical and Romantic spirit, often reminiscent of Brahms' music, despite the mixed use of traditional, popular, and modernist musical languages.

Composed in 1927 and dedicated to Segovia, Ponce's Sonata III, one of the staples of the classical guitar repertoire, is the focus of this paper. To put this piece into proper perspective among Ponce's other works, biographical information leading up to the composition of the piece is presented first. Each of the three movements is then analyzed with regard to formal construction as well as harmonic and melodic language. Analysis is an important precursor to actually playing the piece, as Sonata III is a work that departs from Ponce's previous compositional style. The main portion of this paper addresses the preparation and interpretation of Sonata III. The insight gained through initial analysis of the piece is used to arrive at a musically satisfying interpretation of the work. Specific performance suggestions are included. Technical issues are addressed and possible solutions are presented. Alternate fingerings are provided to alleviate some of the common technical challenges the guitarist will encounter. A transcription and discussion of the Segovia revisions are also present. The paper concludes with general suggestions for improving performance that would be applicable to other works for guitar as well. This synthesis of biographical information, analysis, editorial options and performance suggestions, has hitherto never been never been done for this great work.

The Sonata for Trumpet and Piano by Peter Maxwell Davies is one of his earliest works, and a notoriously difficult work to perform. While using serialism and other twentieth-century compositional techniques, this work also uses older historical forms, including sonata-allegro and sonata-rondo forms. An analysis of the work is presented, identifying the older historical forms, and considerations for performers when making decisions on how to perform the work are provided.

This dissertation is a study of the styles shown in Reubke's The 94th Psalm. As a student of Hermann Bonicke, Theodor Kullak, and Adolf Marx, Reubke was trained in the masters of the Baroque and Classical traditions. Written after his study with Franz Liszt in the newer style, The 94th Psalm is a crystallization of these various influences into his own personal style, a remarkable achievement at age twenty three. It is a synthesis of two different styles of organ music at the time; the traditional and conservative represented by Mendelssohn and Schumann, and the progressive by Liszt. Reubke's unique approach to the sonata fomi in the "double function" unified three individual movements into one musical entity by the use of the cyclic theme. The harmony and the tonality are advanced and anticipate the late nineteenth-century style. As the first programmatic organ music in the nineteenth century, The 94th Psalm is an idiomatic organ work which employed the virtuoso piano technique of the time. In spite of Reubke's young age, The 94th Psalm demonstrates his great maturity. His wish to express himself is realized in the work in profound depth and imagination. Through the psalm text he poured out his mind and soul with tremendous energy. In addition to the prevailing concept of the dominant influence of Liszt on the work, the study discusses in detail other aspects which are equally significant to The 94th Psalm, particularly the classical organ tradition of the time and Adolf Marx's influence. After the introduction in Chapter I, Chapter II describes Reubke's family, his life including musical training and his works. Chapter II discusses the influences on The 94th Psalm; organ composition of the mid-nineteenth-century Germany, the influential teachers and their works. Chapter IV presents an analysis of the work, the programmatic feature, the characteristic harmony, and the cyclic use of the theme. Chapter V deals with the performance of The 94th Psalm: the characteristics of the mid-nineteenth-century organ in Germany, the registration, dynamic and expression marks, and published editions. The final Chapter VI is a conclusion.

The Lecture Recital was given on July 28, 1981. Its subject, Carl Reinecke's "Undine" Sonata, is a major work written for flute during the nineteenth century. Reinecke was highly respected as a conductor and pianist; his great love for the classical style tempered his Romanticism and conditioned his approach to both performance and composition. The subtitle of the sonata suggests a program based on Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué's short novel, Undine. Although few flutists are familiar enough with this tale to recognize its application to the sonata, an exploration of the program implied by the subtitle adds materially to an understanding and appreciation of the work; to a large extent, the content of each movement is conceived in terms of the program. Further examination of Reinecke's life and philosophy reveals that both the choice of this particular literary subject and the uniting of Romantic pictorialism with classical form were entirely characteristic of his writing. Since Reinecke specified no program other than the subtitle, any relating of the music to specific events in the story is necessarily a subjective postulation. The musical content of the work makes it fairly easy to establish a broad correspondence between the movements of the sonata and the progress of the story, however, leaving details to the individual imagination. Within the paper, the pictorial aspects of the music are explored in the belief that they can not only assist in an appreciation of the work, but also provide a guide to the performer for its interpretation.

The lecture recital was given January 22, 1977. A discussion of Elliott Carter's Piano Sonata emphasized those compositional techniques which foreshadowed important compositional procedures in many of his later works. The following compositions were discussed: Concerto for Orchestra, Double Concerto for Harpsichord and Piano with Two Chamber Orchestras, 8 Etudes and a Fantasy for Woodwind Quartet, Holiday Overture, Piano Concerto, Sonata for Flute, Oboe, Cello, and Harpsichord, Sonata for Violoncello and Piano, String Quartet No. 1, String Quartet No. 2, String Quartet No. 3, Variations for Orchestra. The Piano Sonata was Ty and Schumann. In addition to the lecture recital, three public solo recitals were performed. The first solo recital, performed on April 2, 1973, consisted of works by Bartok, Debussy The second solo recital, performed on October 28, 1974, included works by Bach and Liszt. The final solo recital, performed on March 7, 1976, consisted of works by Beethoven and Chopin. All four programs were recorded on magnetic tape and are filed, along with the written version of the lecture recital, as part of the dissertation. performed.
