Acercamiento a los elementos compositivos y pianísticos del pasillo para piano Agur del compositor Henry Alvarez

Abstract

The present document it´s about an approach to compositional structures, to establish musical elements that will serve in the understanding and pianistic interpretation of the work. By recognizing these elements, characteristics of Ecuadorian musical folklore can be identified, fused with styles, techniques and academic structures of the nationalist current. This work carries out a qualitative study, because the Agur pasillo is an observable fact designed to make specific points of view known in piano performance in various aspects such as compositional style, shape, texture, agogic, dynamics, etc. On which the recommendations that require a clear, clean and balanced acoustic production will be made. It is necessary to remember that there is no information regarding the academic Agur pasillo, because it belongs to the authority of Henry Alvarez, a composition completed approximately in the year 2017, so this work serves as a source that allows us to understand the musical conception of the work, the historical context on which it was based for its composition which addresses the style, form and compositional processes extracting the musical elements that are present in it.
