Análise do repertório de uma orquestra de cordas em fase inicial de implantação na cidade de Bagé, RS

Abstract

This paper aimed to analyze the technical level of the repertoire used by a string orchestra in its early phase of establishment, in the city of Bagé, Rio Grande do Sul, based on the preset grade levels to understand its use with pedagogical purpose. Although it is not disseminated in Brazil, the classification of the repertoire by grade levels using technical parameters is an established practice in several countries and it serves as a tool for the palnning of the teaching of musical instruments in group classes. This study consists of an examination of ten musical works, based on grade levels previously determined, from the compilation of converging factors of different bibliographic sources. This research was marked in a data collection tha involved a bibliographical and documentary study and semi-structured interview. As the analyzes results it was observed that although there have been a pedagogical concern about the repertoire choice the works presented a great technical inconsistency which reinforce the the need of establishing technical requeriments to choose musical works, or elaborating arrangements with a standard level of exigency to all musical instruments.
