Preparação de Recital de Piano Solo

Abstract

This Final Graduation Project presented to the Professional Graduate Program in Music (PPGPROM) of the School of Music (EMUS) at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), comprising the Memorial, the Article, the Final Reports, and the Final Product, proposes accounts of experiences in the learning process and preparation of a solo piano recital featuring a repertoire typically required in competitions and entrance, classification, and promotion exams at various educational institutions. The article included in this work addresses some processes for resolving technical challenges in the preparation of Franz Liszt's Sonata in B minor. As this is a piece that demands an advanced level of performance from the performer, there is a wide variety of pianistic technical aspects that could be explored, resulting in reports on more efficient and less fatiguing ways to study and execute them. We reference concepts found in the works of H. Neuhaus, J. Lhevinne, J.C. Hoffmann, and E. Y. Liberman. Although we focus on a specific piece, it is expected that the models and suggested study strategies described here can be applied to other repertoires by students and professionals at different levels
