Som, Cor e Poesia em Movimento Performativo: Images II para piano de Claude Debussy

Abstract

This article aims to study the performing questions arising when the author interprets the second series of Images for piano of C. Debussy. As the composer himself explicitly in the title of this work - Images, the composition is full of scenes of nature. The sounds were created as color and paint poetically "the bellinging through the leaves," "fall of moonlight on the remote temple" and "goldfish floating in the water." These auditory / visual descriptions provide the author a recreational outlook and at the same time, they also raise questions, including how the mind of a pianist plays a combination of descriptive picture, sound and performing movement. This combination will be motivated by audiovisual sensory synesthesia and externalized through the touch sense, to form movements and gestures to get an individual performance? Having regard to the poetic aspect, the author understands that Debussy created a metaphorical charm, coupled with a philosophical conception close to oriental Buddhism. On this aspect, the musical continuity, there is the expression of "melancholy diffuse" in order to invoke the feeling of loss and sadness, which is sublimated later, the emptiness and eternity through symbols - moonlight and remote temple; the expression of "lively" is nominated for a cycle of rebirth, and once again, through symbolization - goldfish and water. In fact, this poetic and (or) philosophical understanding gives the author a consciousness and an interpretative horizon of music, but this will be the main factor to transform feelings in performing actions? If so, how this interacts with the auditory and visual sensations? So, all these questions are studied in the article in order to understand the importance of movement and their technical and musical components in performance, thus creating an interactive form that links between intellectual awareness, the sensory elements and the Kinetic mechanism.
