Uma compositora dos séculos XX e XXI: Kilza Setti e suas obras para fagote

Abstract

This paper is part of the line of research Musical Performance of the Specialization Course in Music: Music of the 20th and 21st centuries – Performance and Pedagogy at the Federal University of Santa Maria, and it investigates topics related to musical interpretation through the study and edition of the works Conversainvento 1 and Three pieces for solo bassoon, by Kilza Setti. The latter was written for this paper at the author's request. As Setti is a female composer, the research also contextualizes facts and reflections related to the visibility of Brazilian female composers born in the 20th century, who are partially represented through Kilza Setti's biographical account. In addition, this research promotes clarifications on the influence of analysis on musical interpretation and, therefore, on its relevance to the construction process in and of performance. Several authors were the mainstays to elucidate the scope of these topics, among them, FREIRE and PORTELA (2010, 2013) and MOITEIRO (2015), who accurately discuss the visibility of women in music; RINK (2002), about the functions and techniques of the analysis of the performer; and SETTI (2018, 2019, 2020), with valuable biographical and historical information, based on her career as a composer, teacher, ethnomusicologist, researcher and Brazilian woman. This research has therefore been relevant since it enabled the creation of new compositions by Kilza Setti, edited her handwritten scores for bassoon and exemplified the practice of the interpretive process, thus enriching the academic literature on these topics.
