Esta tese propõe uma investigação acerca da trajetória do compositor e violinista Manoel Joaquim de Macedo (1845-­-1925). Por meio de uma revisão da literatura, procura entender como surgiu o perfil biográfico do músico, perfil esse que acabou consagrado. Por outro lado, desconstrói esse perfil a partir de pesquisas recentes e dados inéditos, propondo uma nova leitura de sua biografia. Manoel Joaquim de Macedo é inserido em seu contexto social e político para melhor se entender como ele atuou como músico e quais eram suas ambições. Assim, são examinados o meio no qual ele se iniciou na música; a tradição da escola franco-­-belga de violino, na qual ele teria se formado; o meio musical carioca e mineiro do final do século XIX início do XX; e as questões político-­-ideológicas que envolveram a criação da ópera Tiradentes, seu grande projeto profissional da maturidade / This work proposes an investigation about the composer and violinist Manoel Joaquim de Macedo (1845-­-1925). Through a literature review, it tries to understand how the consecrated biography of the musician was formed. On the other hand, it deconstructs this biography from recent research and unpublished data, proposing a new biographical approach. Manoel Joaquim de Macedo is inserted in its social and political context to better understand how he acted as musician and what were his ambitions. Thus, this work examines the medium in which he began in music; the Franco-­-Belgian violin school tradition, in which he would have formed; the musical ambient of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century; and the political and ideological issues surrounding the creation of the opera Tiradentes, his great professional project of the maturity.

O objeto deste estudo será a peça Fafá em Holllywood, composta por Fafá Lemos, que será analisada por meio de duas interpretações. A primeira gravação integra o álbum Fafá e seu Violino com Surdina (1955), interpretada por Fafá Lemos. A segunda é encontrada em uma das faixas do fonograma Na Lapa gravado pelo violinista Nicolas Krassik. Analisaremos os recursos técnico-interpretativos empregados por Lemos e Krassik, investigando a presença de elementos da música popular brasileira e da música estrangeira nas duas gravações, tanto em termos composicionais como interpretativos. Posteriormente, através dessas informações, estabeleceremos uma discussão sobre como ocorre a aplicação dos elementos técnicos e interpretativos do violino na música popular brasileira. / This paper analyzes the technical and interpretative issues that involve the use of the violin in Brazilian popular music. The object of this study will be the piece Fafá in Hollywood, written by Fafá Lemos. Two different interpretations of the piece will be submitted to comparative analisys. The first one belongs to the album Fafá Lemos e seu violino com surdina (1955), played by Fafá Lemos. The second is part of the Nicolas Krassik’s CD, Na Lapa (2004). We will analyze the technical and interpretative resources used by Lemos and Krassik in these recordings, investigating the presence of elements of Brazilian popular music and foreign music in these phonograms, both in terms of composition and interpretation. Subsequently, through this information we will discuss about the application of technical and interpretative elements of the violin in Brazilian popular music.

Syftet med studien är att få reda på hur olika fiollärare arbetar med improvisation inom den klassiska musiken i grundskolan, kulturskolan och gymnasiet. Vilka faktorer som påverkar lärarens syn på improvisation och användningen av det i undervisningen redovisas i studien. Intervjuer av sju fiollärare som är verksamma som fiolpedagoger och musiker redovisas i studien och har analyserats genom kulturhistoriskt perspektiv. Intervjuerna behandlades med en tematisk analys som omfattar lärarnas bakgrund, utbildning, arbetsuppgifter och improvisationens användning i undervisningen. Denna studie tar upp hur lärarnas bakgrund påverkar deras syn och användning av improvisation. Vygotskijs kulturhistoriska perspektiv följs och redovisas genom redogörelse av hans böcker och artiklar. Frågor om hur civilisationen ständigt förändrar människans psykiska egenskaper och beteende tas upp och Vygotskyjs idéer redovisas. Improvisationens användning är mycket bred och används i poesi, dans, teater och musik. Olika musikgenrer som grundas på improvisation har undersökts i studien. Under 1900-talet försvann improvisation från musikutbildningarna och tonade ner i de musikaliska framträdandena. Vilka faktorer som har påverkat försvinnandet av improvisation i den klassiska musiken är något som i denna uppsats lyfts fram. Fyra av sju fiollärare använder improvisatoriska moment i undervisningen. Det framkom inte någon koppling mellan användning av improvisation i undervisningen samt fiollärarnas bakgrund och utbildning. De fiollärare som är intresserade av improvisation som fenomen, undervisningsmetod och ämne av personliga skäl eller eget intresse för ämnet använder improvisation i sin undervisning. / The purpose of the study is to find out how violin teachers work with improvisation in classical music education. What factors affect the teacher's view of improvisation and the use of improvisation are presented in the study. Interviews of seven violin teachers who are working as violin teachers and musicians are reported in the study. The interviews have been analysed through a cultural-historical perspective and were issued as a thematic analysis that includes teachers' backgrounds, education, essential tasks as teachers and use of improvisation in teaching. This study reveals how teachers' backgrounds affect their interpretations and use of improvisation in teaching. Vygotsky's cultural-historical perspective is followed and stated by the report of his books and articles. Vygotsky's ideas about how civilization constantly affects the mental characteristics and behaviour of man are reported. Improvisation's use is very wide and used in poetry, dance, theatre and music. Different music genres based on improvisation have been investigated in the study. During the 20th century improvisation disappeared from music education and tinted down in the musical performances. The elements, which have influenced the disappearance of improvisation in classical music and theories about these facts, are highlighted in this study. Four out of seven violin teachers use improvisational moments in the classroom, but there was no connection between the use of improvisation in teaching as well as performance and the background of the teachers. The violin teachers who are interested in improvisation as phenomena and subjects for personal reasons use improvisation in their teaching.

Detta arbete är en observationsstudie av gruppundervisning i fiol och altfiol vid kulturskolan. Till undersökningsobjekt valdes gruppundervisning i fiol och altfiol. Båda instrumenten har en lång tradition av individuell undervisning men även gruppundervisning i ensembleform, inte sällan kombinerad vilket vill säga individuell lektion och ensemblelektion. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur formen och strukturen för en sådan undervisning kan se ut och hur elever och lärare fungerar tillsammans i undervisningen. Studien har en multimodal socialsemiotisk och etnografisk metodologisk ansats och använder dessa i en kombination i valet av metod, vilket genomförts genom observation av undervisning samt transkription av utvalda delar som spelats in med ljud och bild. Observatören har haft närvarande men i första hand inte deltagande roll i undervisningen. Två kulturskolor där fiolundervisningen har en lång och stark tradition valdes ut och några av stråkpedagogerna vid dessa kulturskolor valde att delta i studien. Resultatet visar att formen för undervisningen byggde på principen att härma läraren och att läraren hjälpte eleven att justera och placera instrumentet samt att sång eller ramsor användes för rytminlärning. Skillnader kunde identifieras mellan undervisning i större och i mindre grupp både till form och struktur samt hur individerna interagerade, kommunicerade och tillämpade lärande av varandra. Resultatet ger en inblick i hur gruppundervisning i fiol och altfiol vid två kommunala kulturskolor i Stockholms län kan fungera och är ett tillskott till fortsatt forskning om gruppundervisning i kulturskolan. / This thesis is an observational study regarding group education in violin and viola at the Swedish Municipal School of Arts. As an object of study, group teaching in violin and viola was chosen. Both instruments have a long tradition of individual teaching, but also group teaching in ensemble form, not seldom combined, which means an individual lesson and an ensemble lesson. The purpose of the study was to investigate the form and structure of such group education and to get a closer look at how pupils and teachers interacted in that form of teaching. The study has a multimodal social semiotic and ethnographic methodological approach, and investigate through a combination of these, implemented through observation of teaching as well as transcription and analysis of selected parts recorded in audio and video. The observant was present but was not participating in the teaching process. Two municipal schools of arts, where the violin and viola education has a long and substantial tradition, were selected, and some of the teachers at these schools were chosen to participate in the study. The results show that the education formed the way that the pupil mimicked the teacher, that the teacher often helped the pupils to adjust and place the instrument, and that singing or different frames was used for rhythm learning. Differences were identified regarding teaching in bigger versus smaller groups by form and structure as well as how the participants interacted, communicated and applied knowledge from each other. The result gives an insight into how group teaching in violin and viola at two municipal schools of arts in Stockholm might function, and contributes to further research regarding group education.

Kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) bygger på teorier kring människans tankar, känslor och beteenden. Det är ett samlingsbegrepp för metoder som utformats för att hjälpa människor att förändra problematiska beteenden. Inledningsvis sammanfattas de begrepp som är relevanta för studiens syfte. Statistik visar att psykisk ohälsa är vanligt förekommande hos klassiska musiker. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur KBT kan användas för att uppnå ändamålsenliga beteenden i musikalisk övning och fungera som ett hjälpmedel för att hantera problem. Studien byggde på en hermeneutisk grund. Materialet bestod av självobservationer från instudering av Mendelssohns violinkonsert. Dessa tolkades ur ett KBT–perspektiv för att besvara syftet. I resultatet visas integrerandet av KBT–interventioner i form av konkreta exempel där interventionen utformats för att bemöta ett problem i instuderingen. I studiens diskussion analyserades resultatet i form av vilken effekt KBT–interventionerna haft i den musikaliska övningen. / Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is based on theories about thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It’s a collective term for methods that serve the purpose of helping people with problematic behaviors. In the introduction the relevant concepts for the study are summarized. Statistics show that mental distress among classical musicians is common. The purpose of the study was to examine how CBT can be applied in order to reach effective behaviors in musical practice and serve as a tool for managing problems. The basis of the study was hermeneutic. The material consisted of self-observations from the study of Mendelssohn violin concerto. These were analyzed from a CBT-perspective to answer the purpose. In the result the integration of CBT-interventions can be viewed in terms of concrete examples where the interventions have been formed to respond to a problem in the practice. In the discussion of the study the result has been analyzed according to what effect the CBT-interventions have had in the musical practice.

This document focuses on the formal structures and tonal language of four trios that include horn by American composer Simon A. Sargon: "Huntsman, What Quarry?" Two Poems of Edna St. Vincent Millay for Soprano, Horn, and Piano (1990); Trio for Horn, Violin, and Piano: "The Legacy" (1993); A Clear Midnight: Six Songs Set to Poems of Walt Whitman for Baritone, Horn, and Piano (1996); and Sonic Portals: Trio for Oboe, Horn, and Piano (2003). Comparisons with precedent works of like instrumentation demonstrate that Sargon's trios, though musically unique, merit a place alongside masterworks like Carl Reinecke's Trio, op. 188, for oboe, horn, and piano; Franz Schubert's Auf dem Strom for soprano, horn, and piano; and especially Johannes Brahms's Trio, op. 40, for violin, horn, and piano. Other precedent, contemporary, and related works are also mentioned. Sargon's ability to write idiomatically for the horn and other instruments is discussed, and consideration is given to some elements required to create a good performance of Sargon's chamber music. Included are a brief biography of Simon Sargon, letters from colleagues with whom he has worked closely, lists of his instrumental music and recordings of some of these pieces, and lists of other works in the genres discussed herein.

Twelve-tone music illustrates many characteristics relative with those of conventional tonal form, though works are based on a different composition method. The fundamental question of twelve-tone music arises in debate on terminology between tonal and atonal as well as methodology of musical analysis. Certain theorists try to approach twelve-tone music by traditional harmonic views rather than by pitch-class set theory. Conventional harmonic aspects arise from the fact that both tonal and twelve-tone music share similar narrative strategies. This point is explored in examining Anton Webern's Quartet for Violin, Clarinet, Tenor-Saxophone and Piano, Op. 22, which displays connection to tonal music. The present study seeks to examine certain features of the composer's working in pitch materials; i.e., the dispositions of pitch classes and the characteristics of the matching dyads, and thereby to disclose the connection between twelve-tone methods and conventional harmony.

Sonatas for oboe in the classical period are classified as 'solo sonatas.' These 'solo sonatas,' which originated in the baroque period, consist of a melody instrument and basso continuo. Solo sonatas for oboe, which account for a sizeable repertory in the baroque period, continued to be composed in the classical period but in the baroque style. The basso continuo setting for sonatas gradually disappeared toward the end of the period, developing into the duo sonata in which a solo instrument and piano played an equal role in presenting melodic material. While the fully developed classical sonata was written for piano alone, and duos for violin and piano and cello and piano, the sonatas for oboe did not make this transition. The duo sonatas for oboe and piano by Jacques Christian Michel Widerkehr are exceptions to the baroque style 'solo sonatas.' Widerkehr's sonatas are the only true 'duo sonatas' for oboe and piano written in the classical period. François Devienne's sonatas deserve special recognition as the only 'solo sonatas' for oboe written predominantly in the classical style. In addition to presenting an overview of sonatas for oboe, biographical information on Widerkehr and Devienne, current state of research of Widerkehr's sonatas, changes in performance venue and instrumental design of the oboe, an examination of Widerkehr's Duos for Oboe and Piano in E Minor and C Major will follow. Examples of classical style elements and procedures are identified in each analysis with an emphasis on the duo setting. Devienne's Sonata in G Major, Op. 71, No. 1, serves as an example of his six oboe sonatas. Although the work is composed in a basso continuo setting, examples of classical style characteristics are identified in an analysis of the three movements.

Understatements for two-channel fixed media is a four-movement study of the sonic potential of acoustic instruments within the practice of electroacoustic studio composition. The musical identity of the entire composition is achieved through consistent approaches to disparate instrumental materials and a focused investigation of the relationships between the various acoustic timbres and their electroacoustic treatments. The analytical section of this paper builds on contemporary research in electroacoustic arts. The analysis of the work is preceded by a summary of theoretical and aesthetic approaches within electroacoustic composition and the introduction of primary criteria of sonic faktura (material essence) used in the compositional process. The analyses address the idiosyncratic use of the concept of faktura to contextualize and guide the unfolding of the work. The reconciliation of the illusory electronic textures and the acoustic sources that parented them may be considered the ultimate goal of Understatements.

Different sections or movements of a piece are associated with each other and contain the composer essential thought. A vague affinity of mood and a resembling theme or form testifies to the relationship. However, the evidence is insufficient to reveal the unification of the different sections or movements since these are under restraint of external music proofs. In order to figure out the relationship, thus, identical musical substance should be discovered. In the study the substantial evidence, which can be called unity or unification, is mainly discussed. The unity is illustrated with Brahms's Horn Trio, Op.40 that is one of the Brahms's significant works. The unity found in the Horn Trio is based on the internal structure and structural voice-leading notes. The unity in the Horn Trio is the fundamental structural unity that is divided into initial ascent and voice exchange, and fundamental voice-leading motive. The fundamental unity seriously affects the master piece and penetrates the movements as a whole. Further, it reveals the hidden connections to the historical background of the Horn Trio and the philosophy of Brahms for the music. Even though a piece consists of several sections or movements, the entire piece presents homogeneity. The identity of the composer's underlying philosophical thought suffices to discern the musical unity in a piece. Thus, the investigation of unity is one of the critical ways to understand not merely a piece but also the philosophy of a composer. The study will help to enhance the audience's interpretation of music.
