Concerto Armorial para violino e Orquestra de Alfredo Barros: uma colaboração desde a gênese até a estreia

Abstract

This article presents an excerpt of the collaborative process established between the performer and the composer for the writing of the Armorial Concerto for Violin and Orchestra by Alfredo Barros. The collaboration discussed is the subject of the author's master's degree research. It also contains a theoretical review on aspects relevant to the research, a biographical text about the composer and the most recent version of the work. The main methodology applied is meetings through video calls, which are recorded and chronologically organized, resulting in a detailed record of the entire genesis of the piece. The interactions between performer and composer lead to transformations both in the writing of the work and in the construction of the performance, in addition to optimizing the process of preparing the concerto by the interpreter. At the end of the project, it is expected to deliver a new concerto for violin and orchestra in armorial aesthetic with its edited score containing bowings and fingerings suggested by the performer.
