Uma edição crítico-interpretativa da Suíte Nordestina n° 2 de Nonato Luiz

Abstract

The theme on which this research is based is the oeuvre of the composer and instrumentalist from Ceará, Nonato Luiz, and its specific object of study is the piece called Suíte Nordestina nº 2, constituted by the following movements: I - Serenata, II - Xote and III - Frevo. This endeavour consists essentially of an examination of the various facets of the composition with the purpose of conceiving for the work an interpretative proposal, whose main guiding element is the characteristics of the musical genres with which each movement relates. As the final objective of the investigation conducted here, it is intended to produce a criticalinterpretative edition of the studied music, which can lead the interested musicians in the direction of an expressive and coherent interpretation. The study initially presents information about the artist, summarizing his formation and his musical influences. At this moment it gives an overview of his performance as an instrumentalist and composer and discusses his published work. It then enters the theme of musical interpretation, with a discussion of the terminology used in the area and the limits to which the interpreter is subjected in his mister. Next, an exposition of the main existing types of edition is made, outlining the contours of the present edition. Finally, the inquiry reaches its core, explaining the characteristics of the musical genres displayed in the piece and presenting a performance proposal for each of the composition movements. The paper concludes with last considerations on the topics discussed and the edition presented.
