As escolas modernas franco-belga-russa e russa de violino: histórias e memórias

Abstract

This dissertation deals with the influences exerted by the modern French-Belgian-Russian and Russian violin schools on the violinist training processes, in the view of three teachers who are references in professional violin teaching in Brazil: Maria Fernanda Krug, Andréa Campos and Cecília Guida. Carl Flesch and Ivan Galamian are considered, respectively, the main exponents of these two schools. The aim of the investigation was to understand to what extent the technical and aesthetic precepts proposed by these two violinists determine the worldview of violin teachers and students. In other words, verifying how such precepts were and are appropriated by those who work in the violin field. Thus, two research movements were simultaneously considered: the reconstruction of the genealogy of both violin schools, using documentary and bibliographic sources; and the production of narratives by violin teachers, which were guided by research procedures observed by Oral History. Concepts such as "experience", "education", "tradition", "school", as well as those properly related to research practices in Oral History, such as "network", "vital tone", "transcription" and " textualization” of interviews are present, not only in the presentation of the research results, but also in the conduct of the investigation itself.
