O pianista na canção de câmara: emprego da abordagem de Martin Katz para a construção da performance de Trem de Alagoas, de Waldemar Henrique

Abstract

This paper presents a study on the role of the collaborative pianist in the interpretative construction of the art song using some of the tools offered by Martin Katz in his book The Complete Collaborator: The Pianist as Partner (2009), using the song “Trem de Alagoas” by composer Waldemar Henrique as a model for the application of these tools. The main objective is to present a possible way of structuring the knowledge that is fundamental to the pianist who works with the vocal repertoire, as well as the process of interpretative construction of the work, both individually and together with the singer. To this end, we chose Martin Katz's own text as a guide for our practice, understanding that this is fundamental in this type of research, allowing instrumentalists and singers to explore their own artistic experiences. This research presented a process of interpretive study of a work and from it demonstrated that the pianist can structure his or her learning processes of the song, playing an important role in the interpretative and performative choices of the piece together with the singer.
