A construção de uma performance da Suíte Opus 9 para quarteto de cordas de Helza Camêu (1903-1995): contexto histórico e narrativas sobre análise, edição, performance e registro audiovisual fundamentados por meio da autoetnografia

Abstract

This work presents a description, concomitantly with a contextualization, of the construction of a performance of a 20th century work, the Suite Opus 9 for string quartet, by Helza Camêu (1903-1995). To this end, we sought to organize information about the historical context of this composition, together with narratives about its analysis, editing, performance and audiovisual recording, all based on the study of autoethnography, qualitative research using self-reflection and writing in the exploration of experiences. Connected to the line of Musical Performance studies, this research also finds echo in musicology studies, when addressing an autograph manuscript of a work by Helza Camêu that has not yet been treated in academic study. With the presentation of this work, autoethnography was reinforced as a scientific method for carrying out research involving musical performance. This research is completed by an edition of the handwritten score of the Suíte Opus 9, and a musical analysis, both supported by the works of Figueiredo (2018) and LaRue (1992). In addition to this research, we hope to contribute to the appreciation of part of the work of the composer Helza Camêu, and, consequently, of Brazilian concert music.
