Os sete estudos para piano de Gilberto Mendes

Abstract

This work approaches the seven piano Études by Gilberto Mendes in an analysis focusing interpretation issues.In combining this objective to that of registering the compositional techniques applied, we tried to compare these pieces to earlier works, looking for a better understanding of the language of this composer who is considered one of the best in Brazil today.Having gathered this group of works and observed them according to these criteria, our aim was to write a study that could encourage further research on Mendes and the contemporary Brazilian piano repertoire.To facilitate access to these less publicized pieces, a digital edition of the four previously unreleased Mendes études has also been added to this work, as well as a transcript of an interview with the composer about his creative process.A compact disc featuring some of the études, interpreted by pianist and professor José Eduardo Martins and followed by a recorded conversation between the two musicians is also enclosed in this work.
