Abstract

The historical study was based on the literature concerning the This dissertation deals with the composition Variações Rítmicas opus 15 para piano e percussão típica brasileira [Rhythmic Variations Opus 15 for Piano and Typical- Brazilian Percussion] by Marlos Nobre. Its main objective is to provide an analytical and historical study thus giving the interpreter more detailed knowledge of the piece for performance. The methodology adopted is divided in two parts: a study of the historical context in which the piece was composed and an analytical study of its style through an analysis of the score. composer's biography and his musical output, as well as the music historical context of Brazil. The analytical study is based mainly on the work of Jan LaRue (1998) which focuses on musical style through a descriptive approach of the musical elements that make up the composition. Suggestions of e xecution for the pianist, provided throughout the analytical study, deal with aspects related to pedaling, voicing and technical - motor issues. The conclusion demonstrates how the composer relates twelve - tone serialism to Brazilian rhythmic elements and also in which ways the analytical study contributes directly to the performance of the piano part. The results demonstrate that the Variações Ritmicas Opus 15 is a composition clearly influenced by the cultural environment lived by the composer in the beginning of the 1960's, and although it is a work from his youth, it still presents striking traces of Marlos Nobre's compostional style such as continuous variation and the use of nationalist elements (AU)
