Análisis e interpretación de la obra Andino III del compositor ecuatoriano Arturo Rodas

Abstract

The present work consists of a musical analysis of “Andino III”, a work by Ecuadorian composer Arturo Rodas, with the purpose of generating a performance proposal. This musical work is contemporary in nature and consists of sections and outstanding gestures, very particular to its time. As it does not contain, for the most part, traditional musical parameters, it invites a different type of analysis, appreciation and interpretation than what is customary. The methods used for this analysis are based on the terminologies found in the article “Gesture in Contemporary Music” by Zampronha (2005) and the magazine “Variaciones” Volume I (2019). Additionaly, schemes and references from the book "Musical Analysis: Keys to Understanding and Interpreting Music" by De Reizabal (2009) have been used. Apart from this analysis, an approach was made to the extended techniques of the transverse flute, especially to those present in the work “Andino III”. This approach provided an overview of the characteristics of the extended techniques and how to interpret them correctly.
