Concerto de câmara para clarineta em si bemol e orquestra de Vicente Alexim: uma abordagem interpretativa

Abstract

Vicente Alexim is a young Brazilian clarinetist, composer and arranger highlighted in the national artistic scene and abroad. He is the author of works for clarinet, piano, soprano, chamber and symphony orchestra. His Chamber Concerto for Clarinet in B-Flat and Orchestra composed in 2008 is the object of study of this research. From a technical point of view, this work presents several twentieth-century techniques to the soloist, such as frullati, glissandi, multiphonics, a well as a dense orchestral writing. The composer was very careful with the changing character and the organization of technical demands on the piece for the soloist and the orchestra. The main goal of this work is to provide an interpretative design for the concerto utilizing the concepts of Robert Morris on contour theory and structural analysis. A survey of bibliographic sources on the composer, his work and related topics was performed, as well as interviews with the composer and other musicians. There are a few researches in that deal with interpretation of Brazilian works for clarinet, thus this work aims to be a reference for the performer interested in such pieces.
