Análisis musical, comparativo e interpretativo del primer movimiento del concierto en La menor Nº 22 de G. B. Viotti

Abstract

The present investigation analyzes the first movement of G.B. Viotti’s concerto NO.22 from a comparative and an interpretative point of view. The first chapter features Giovanni Battista Viotti’s composition as well as his influence on the technical development of the violin; later on, a formal analysis-drawn from Jean La Rue’s text on musical elements (acronym in Spanish, SAMeR)-is presented. A comparative analysis between two musical editions of the concert, namely, form Ferdinand David (1810-1873), and Gaetano Fusella (1876-1973), as introduced. Through this investigation we notice a change in suggestions (that have varied over the years) of how the musical interpretation ought to be played; this in turn will help us make musical and technical decisions four our interpretation.
