Abordagens de estudo e performance da obra Mutationen II für violoncello und tonband de Cláudio Santoro

Abstract

This paper aims to study the work Mutationen II für Cello und Tonband, written by Claudio Santoro, translating and understanding the instructions in the cello part and in the tape. Regarding the recording of the media, the work deals with the up to date technological tools such as studio recording and the use of audio programs, due to the fact that tape recorders suggested by Claudio Santoro in the 1960´s are no longer available. As main results from the research we can point out the recording of the piece and the score editing in Portuguese, since the only edition previously available was a manuscript with most of the instructions in German. This research supports cellists interested in the study and performance of the piece, helping this way the spreading knowledge about the work, which is one of the first pieces for cello and electroacoustic in the international repertoire.
