After considering Petrouchka's historical and compositional background and the orchestral revision of 1947, this thesis analyzes the composition, dealing specifically with formal, harmonic, and melodic aspects. The study's most important discovery is of a common formal design for all the scenes and the piece as a whole, where the outer thirds of ternary structures are equal in length. The thesis also examines Stravinsky's transcriptional procedures, cataloging and contrasting them with those of the nineteenth century. The solo transcription of Petrouchka is fully discussed in the light of Stravinsky's singular treatment of and writing for the piano. In addition to the recorded performance of Trois Mouvements de Petrouchka, this dissertation includes three tape recordings of selected piano works of J. P. Rameau, L. V. Beethoven, F. Chopin, F. Liszt, C. Franck, A. Scriabin, and G. Crumb.

This study seeks to examine and describe the use of the piano in Stravinsky's Neo-Classical and Russian periods, as well as provide a history on the use of the piano of an orchestral instrument.

This thesis examines the history of the use of trumpet and cornet, and analyzes their use in several Stravinsky pieces: Petroushka, The Rite of Spring, L'Histoire du soldat, and Ragtime. The study concludes that Stravinsky, at the time of the composition of the analyzed pieces, was instrumental in elevating the cornets and trumpets to a more important position in the orchestra.

Estas recomposições são duas: Monumentum pro Gesualdo ad CD annum, orquestração feita a partir de três madrigais de Gesualdo, e Tres Sacrae Cantiones, onde Stravinsky compõe as partes perdidas de três motetos de Gesualdo. Iniciando com o estudo do estilo de Gesualdo, baseado no trabalho de Turci-Escobar, as obras originais de Gesualdo recompostas por Stravinsky são analisadas. Comparando as recomposições de Stravinsky com a obra original de Gesualdo, a maneira como Stravinsky comenta a obra de Gesualdo em seu trabalho é investigada. A intenção é determinar como Stravinsky imprime seu estilo nessas peças, e como ele traz a música de Gesualdo para o século XX. / In this dissertation, a study of the Igor Stravinsky's re-compositions of Carlo Gesualdo's (ca. 1560-1613) works is presented. The re-compositions are two: Monumentum pro Gesualdo ad CD annum, a setting for instruments of three Gesualdos's madrigals, and Tres Sacrae Cantiones, where Stravinsky composed the missing parts of the three Gesualdo's motets. Starting with a study of Gesualdo's style, based on turci-Escobar's work, the original Gesualdo's pieces re-composed by Stravinsky are analyzed.By comparing Stravinsky's re-compositions and Gesualdo's works, the way that Stravinsky comments the Gesulado's style is investigated. The intention is both to determine how Stravinsky imprints his own style on to it and how he brings Gesualdo's music to XX Century.

The Octuor pour instruments a vents (or Octet), written in 1922-1923 by Igor Stravinsky, is a piece in three movements for a curious assortment of instruments: two trumpets, two trombones, flute, clarinet and two bassoons. It is one of four influential chamber works for winds by Stravinsky to include trumpet. Of these pieces, the Octet contains the fewest number of players but is no less complex and important in Stravinsky's oeuvre. The Octet helped mark the beginning of the neoclassical period in twentieth-century music. Chapter 2 examines the life and musical background of the composer. It also reveals the history surrounding the origin of the Octet and its role in neoclassicism. Chapter 3 discusses the role of the Octet in the wind ensemble and orchestral repertoire, and includes a representative performance history, including the premiere. Chapter 4 provides analytical insights into the construction and format of the piece. Chapter 5 provides suggestions regarding style in Stravinsky's music, including interviews with important figures in the trumpet world. Chapter 6 concludes the guide with specific suggestions regarding preparation and performance of the Octet.

Num primeiro momento são delimitadas os campos de atuação da noção de reescritura tal como a compreendemos, a partir de uma fundamentação teórica provinda principalmente na crítica literária pós-estruturalista, em textos de autores como Gérard Genette, Monique Goullet e Anne-Claire Gignoux. Entretanto, a parte mais extensa do trabalho está na análise de diferentes ferramentas e operadores composicionais relacionados à reescritura na música, que serão observados em Monumentum, de Igor Stravinsky, Chemins IV de Luciano Berio, AN de Stefano Gervasoni, e Passo de Manoel Dias de Silvio Ferraz. Como parte da pesquisa há também a partitura e uma breve análise de entorno de nenhum, nehuma, peça composta pelo autor deste trabalho, com o intuito da aplicação direta da ideia da reescritura numa prática composicional própria / Abstract: This works seeks to understand the concept of re-writing and apply it in theanalysis of musical works composed in the XX and XXI centuries. Firstly, the practice areas of the notion of rewriting are delimited, as we understand it, from a theorical approach stemmed mainly in post-structuralist literary criticism in texts by authors such as Gérard Genette, Monique Goullet and Anne-Claire Gignoux. However, the most extensive part of this work is the analysis of different tools and compositional operators related to rewriting on music, which will be observed in Monumentum of Igor Stravinsky, Luciano Berio of Chemins IV, AN of Stefano Gervasoni, and Passo de Manoel Dias of Silvio Ferraz. As part of the research there is also the score and a brief analysis of entorno de nenhum, nenhuma, piece composed by the author of this work, with the intention of the direct application of the idea of rewriting in his own compositional practice / Mestrado / Processos Criativos / Mestre em Música

O trabalho é composto de quatro capítulos que, tendo como foco central a obra em questão, aborda assuntos diversos buscando maior compreensão. O primeiro capítulo apresenta dados do compositor em uma perspectiva histórica. O segundo é uma reflexão sobre os textos bíblicos utilizados na obra e suas origens dentro da tradição hebraica. Já o terceiro capítulo é uma análise da partitura, onde são abordados parâmetros de forma, orquestração, instrumentação, escrita vocal, harmonia e contraponto. Concluindo o presente trabalho, o quarto capítulo apresenta elementos de interpretação da obra, com sugestões para sua preparação e execução. Este último capítulo, além de ser o objetivo primeiro do trabalho, justifica todo o esforço de sua realização / Abstract: As a means for a better understanding of The Symphony of Psalms by Igor Stravinsky, and having in mind its interpretation through the process of preparation and performance, this dissertation discusses theoretical, historical and technical elements that participate in the development of the interpretive process. It is comprised of four chapters each approaching distinct aspects of the composition. The first chapter, in historical perspective, presents data about the composer's life . The second reflects on the Biblical texts used in the work and their origins within the Hebrew tradition. The third presents an analysis of the score as it discusses technical aspects such as musical form, instrumentation, orchestration, vocal writing, harmony and counterpoint. As a conclusion, the fourth chapter discusses interpretive elements and practical suggestions for its performance and interpretation. This final chapter, is indeed the prime objective of this work, and justifies all effort for its realization / Mestrado / Mestre em Música

Stravinsky seldom explained the intended theme of his works; however, he chose to do so with his Symphony in Three Movements. Stravinsky describes the first movement as a reflection on war films documenting scorched-earth tactics in China. He also states that the third movement is a reflection on the newsreels of goose-stepping soldiers, depicting the plot of the war in its entirety. In his descriptions, Stravinsky left out the second movement of the work. However, the movement already had a life of its own. The second movement expands a theme Stravinsky originally wrote for the movie The Song of Bernadette. The author, Franz Werfel, asked Stravinsky to compose music for the film when the two discussed the work and its central ideas. Although it did not appear in the film, Stravinsky recycled the music for the Symphony in Three Movements. In my opinion, the ideas of hope depicted in Werfel's novel are used by Stravinsky to evoke ideas of the importance of faith in the fallen world. My analysis aims to show the musical means used by Stravinsky to allow the central ideas from The Song of Bernadette to pervade the entirety of the Symphony in Three Movements.
