Intercambios: academia y tradición. Estudio para violín basado en tres bambucos de muestra

Abstract

Many violin teachers, if not all, resort to multiple pedagogical tools for the training of their students in different stages of their process, one of the most important being violin studies: short and simple pieces, in musical terms, that strengthen technical aspects of the instrument and serve as preparation for more complex repertoire. On the other hand, the bambuco is a Colombian musical genre born in the 19th century, at a time when the search for a national identity led it to be consecrated as one of the most representative of the country, eventually colliding with what would be “the classical academy” coming from Europe and settled there. Despite being developed in different contexts and spaces, bambuco, and other traditional colombian music, have been able to establish contact on multiple occasions throughout history with the classical academy, which has led to the development of products such as this document. This degree project describes the process that its author took to compose a study for violin inspired by the elements found in three different bambucos, going through the history of the two chosen contexts, the academy and the tradition, as well to analyze some representative products of each one and collecting inputs that will be analyzed in the final composition.
