Bowing the violin : a case study for auditory-motor pattern modelling in the context of music performance

This project addresses methodological and technological challenges in the development of multi-modal data acquisition and analysis methods for the representation of instrumental playing technique in music performance through auditory-motor patterning models. The case study is violin playing: a multi-modal database of violin performances has been constructed by recording different musicians while playing short exercises on different violins. The exercise set and recording protocol have been designed to sample the space defined by dynamics (from piano to forte) and tone (from sul tasto to sul ponticello), for each bow stroke type being played on each of the four strings (three different pitches per string) at two different tempi. The data, containing audio, video, and motion capture streams, has been processed and segmented to facilitate upcoming analyses. From the acquired motion data, the positions of the instrument string ends and the bow hair ribbon ends are tracked and processed to obtain a number of bowing descriptors suited for a detailed description and analysis of the bow motion patterns taking place during performance. Likewise, a number of sound perceptual attributes are computed from the audio streams. Besides the methodology and the implementation of a number of data acquisition tools, this project introduces preliminary results from analyzing bowing technique on a multi-modal violin performance database that is unique in its class. A further contribution of this project is the data itself, which will be made available to the scientific community through the repovizz platform.

Piano español de los siglos XIX y XX : maestros y precursores.

La finalidad de este proyecto consiste en fomentar el conocimiento del patrimonio musical español. Otros objetivos son recuperar un extenso periodo artístico de 100 años de la historia del piano español apenas estudiado y apenas valorado; fomentar la creatividad y la innovación a través de una actividad que conjuga música, fotografía e imagen interactiva; ampliar la oferta cultural del centro ofreciendo una exposición; incentivar el estudio y la curiosidad personal; fomentar la participación del alumnado e integrar al antiguo alumnado para colaborar en proyectos futuros. La metodología de este trabajo se basa en un concierto inaugural a cargo de la coordinadora del proyecto, un concierto a cargo de los alumnos del centro, ponencia de ilustre musicólogo y crítico musical Jorge de Persia, exposición de todo el material en soporte fotográfico mediante 10 paneles y presentación en formato PowerPoint elaborada por los propios alumnos. También se valora el contacto con nuevos sistemas de investigación como visitas a museos, bibliotecas, hemerotecas, uso de Internet, el uso de nuevos programas informáticos, el estudio instrumental de obras específicas y el contacto con una personalidad de renombre en el ámbito musical. Las actividades se llevan a cabo durante todo el curso escolar y se divide el trabajo y el repertorio por trimestres entre alumnos y profesores, según capacidades. En la evaluación de la actividad se prioriza la aportación de los alumnos en la muestra, además de la implicación y la participación. La proyección de la actividad en otros centros demuestra el grado de aceptación en la comunidad. Incluye un anexo con información sobre la historia del piano en España; conservatorios y otros espacios musicales; maestros y precursores; y actividad editorial y prensa musical..

Revisão crítica das canções para a voz e piano de Heitor Villa-Lobos: publicadas pela Editora Max Eschig

Esta revisão crítica apresenta uma análise do conjunto de canções de Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959), publicado pela editora Max Eschig de Paris. As trinta canções publicadas formam um painel importante do estilo vocal e pianístico do compositor, pontuando praticamente toda sua vida criativa. O trabalho respeitou a ordem cronológica da criação das coleções de canções: de 1919 e 1946. Além das trinta canções publicadas, incluiu-se no trabalho as três canções não publicadas que fazem parte da série Canções Típicas Brasileiras. Tais obras estão depositadas nos arquivos do Museu Villa-Lobos no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

The Prelude from Suite for solo Piano Le Tombeau de Couperin by Maurice Ravel: compositional and interpretive considerations

This article, part of a doctoral research conducted at the Department of Music of the ECA/USP/FAPESP aims to elucidate compositional and technical procedures in the Prelude from the suite Le Tombeau de Couperin (1914-1917) by french composer Maurice Ravel. Such procedures are traced back to French barroque composer Francois Couperin (1668-1733) harpsichord pieces, and are translated by Ravel to the modern piano. Thus, by studying the works for harpsichord by Couperin it was possible to see a kind of fusion of two languages and two instrumental techniques apart in time. This fusion of languages poses several interpretive questions.
