Estratégias de manipulação temporal no “Allegretto em Dó Menor D915” de Franz Schubert

Abstract

this work investigates the performance strategies associated with voluntary temporal manipulations present in thirty recordings released between 1939 and 2019 of Franz Schubert’s Allegretto in C minor for piano (1827). Understanding that the work presents its theme in three different key levels, it aims to verify whether there is any relation between the date of recording and the Tempi/Performance strategies employed by the artists. To do so, it defines the concept of period according to Brazilian theorist Esther Scliar; performs a brief revision of the literature concerning the relations on performance and tonalities in the view of professors/performers (Lhevinne, Leimer e Gieseking, Paderevski and Fraser), composers/theorists (Schoenberg and Persichetti) and on Psychoacustics (Parncutt); extract the data form the segments of the recordings and discuss them. As a conclusion it verifies that, in fact, there is (as far as delimited by the thirty recordings) relevant relations that correlates tempo and strategies with the decades that the recordings took place.
