Abstract

Divided into three chapters, this work consists of a research about pianistic and compositional style of the multi-instrumentalist Egberto Gismonti having as study material the album "Alma" (EMI-Odeon, 1986), a work in which the pianist plays his compositions in a solo piano with some synths added. For this, full transcriptions of the actual piano interpretations were realized, available in the attachments section, and then, analyzes that lead to the identification of recurrent aspects in these performances. Thus, we can find in the first chapter information on the album itself. Such information that will bring us an overview of its conception and realization. Adding criticism and testimonies found in newspapers and books, at close times to the release, to the information collected with some of the participants in its making, we illustrate aspects related to the career moment in which was the pianist in besides comprehending the "environment "that helped those involved to achieve the celebrated technical and musical results , opening the field to the deepening in music. The second chapter consists of the actual analysis. From the generated scores, nine disk parts: Baião Malandro, Palhaço, Loro, Maracatu, Karatê, Frevo, Água e Vinho, Infância e Cigana were observed from various points (best described the considerations and methodology) and some of the individual results and presented separately in the light of the most relevant aspects found in these analyzes. The third chapter consists of an synthesis of recurrently resulting elements of the analysis, aiming to externalize some of the usual features performed by the pianist to "give life" to their compositions through the performances, elements we could group as indicative of a musical idiosyncrasy (AU)
