Summary: Ernesto Nazareth holds an exemplary position in the debates surrounding the classical-popular dichotomy that are crucial for understanding Brazilian culture throughout the 20th century. Having lived, according to Elizabeth Travassos, “at the threshold between both worlds”, his work, which is now part of the canonic repertoire of both classical and popular musicians, exemplifies clearly the possibility of superposing values and procedures associated with each of these spheres. This paper analyses two recordings of his piece Fon-fon! (one by Eudóxia de Barros, dated 1963, and the other by André Mehmari, in 2014), with the aim of identifying the interpretive resources through which each artist emphasizes the central values pertaining to his or her field – fidelity to the score and to the composer’s intentions, in the case of the classically-trained pianista; and freedom of personal expression in the case of the pianeiro associated with popular music. Our conclusion, however, is that, by following a certain set of values, each interpreter ends up reinforcing and expressing also values pertaining to the other field.

Tendo vivido, segundo Elizabeth Travassos, “no limiar entre os dois mundos”, sua obra, que hoje é parte do repertório canônico tanto de músicos eruditos quanto populares, exemplifica a possibilidade da sobreposição de valores e procedimentos pertinentes a ambas as esferas. Este trabalho analisa duas gravações de sua peça Fon-Fon!(uma de Eudóxia de Barros, datada de 1963, e outra de André Mehmari, em 2013) procurando detectar os recursos interpretativos por meio dos quais cada uma das gravações enfatiza os valores centrais de sua área de atuação – a fidelidade à partitura e à intenção do autor, pela pianistade formação erudita; e a liberdade de expressão pessoal característica do pianeirovinculado à música popular. Concluímos, entretanto, que, ao se pautar por um determinado conjunto de valores, cada um acaba por reforçar e expressar também valores pertinentes ao outro campo.Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina2019-12-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/orfeu/article/view/105965252553040402201916910.5965/2525530404022019169Orfeu; Vol. 4 No. 2 (2019): Dossiê Música e Internacionalização Universitária; 169-189Orfeu; Vol. 4 Núm. 2 (2019): Dossiê Música e Internacionalização Universitária; 169-189Orfeu; v. 4 n. 2 (2019): Dossiê Música e Internacionalização Universitária; 169-1892525-5304reponame:Orfeu (Florianópolis)instname:Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)instacron:UDESCporhttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/orfeu/article/view/1059652525530404022019169/11020Copyright (c) 2019 ORFEUinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessZimbres, Paula2022-07-01T13:31:40Zoai::article/15884Revistahttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/orfeu/PUBhttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/orfeu/oaiorfeu.ceart@udesc.br | orfeu.ceart@udesc.brhttps://doi.org/10.5965/252553042525-53042525-5304opendoar:2022-07-01T13:31:40Orfeu (Florianópolis) - Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)false
