Análisis del rol y la ejecución del violín en dos obras de Bach y Schumann

Abstract

When starting the study of a piece and after solving the technical part that allows us to perform it as musicians, we face the interpretative problem as such, that is, the fact of transforming those notes written on paper into a coherent but equally purposeful musical discourse, in which musical ideas, both ours and those of the composer of the piece, become evident to the public and to ourselves. The main objective of this work is the analysis of elements in the performance of two works for violin: The first four movements of Partita II in D minor for solo violin by J. S. Bach BWV 1004 and Sonata for violin and piano No. 1, Op. 105 in A minor by Robert Schumann. The following analysis is a complement to the interpretation of the works and is a product of the need to understand the function that the performer has within the structure of the piece, with the aim of improving the performance of the music. Taking the above into account, this work does not seek to analyze the musical construction of the piece as such, but rather the participation of the violin in it and its interaction with other instruments in the case of the Schumann Sonata, which will lead us to understand the different approaches that aspects such as tuning, ensemble, and phrasing can have. All this process is something that is normally done intuitively but that needs to be analyzed in order to make correct decisions regarding interpretation. Basically, this written work consists of my analytical approach as a performer to two works for violin, which are part of the degree work as such, whose final product is the degree recital.
