Composición e interpretación de una obra para piano al estilo de Claude Debussy con influencias del género pasillo

Abstract

The work hereby, is a compositional and interpretive experiment that results on a piano piece that mixes traits from Claude Debussy’s compositional works as well as some elements from the pasillo genre. This will be done through the dissection of Debussy’s compositional language and the definition of the characteristics of Impressionism and the pasillo respectively. An analysis will be made explaining the techniques used to distill a language of our own from Debussy’s characteristics. In addition, a panoramic into Debussy’s musical life is mandatory in order to contextualize the work. Information will be collected about French culture of the time and the Fin de siècle literary movements. This would be of the utmost importance regarding the creation of the piece and its interpretation.
