Abstract

This article aims to conduct a musical analysis of the first movement of the Sonatina for guitar by Sérgio Vasconcellos-Corrêa, while also investigating its implications for musical interpretation through practical experiments, aiming at performance. We start from the premise that a thorough examination of the work can enrich the creative process of the performer, providing theoretical grounding for their musical experiments and contributions. Authors such as Rink (2007), Cook (1999), and Rothstein (1995) constitute the theoretical framework in a brief reflection on musical analysis, interpretation, and performance. The analytical method proposed by John White (1976) has been employed, subdividing the process into microanalysis, intermediate analysis, and macroanalysis. The results demonstrate the relevance of analysis as an important tool, providing data for practical experiments that range from minor elements, such as motivic relationships, through phraseological issues, to broader considerations such as harmonic motion and musical form.
