Edição crítica da 1° Valsa Brasileira para dois violões de Francisco Mignone

Abstract

This work refers to a critical edition of the 1st Brazilian Waltz for two guitars by Francisco Mignone. He composed the set of pieces in 1970 at the age of 73, entitled Os Manuscritos De Buenos Aires, it has in its entirety a suite of four movements and 4 separate pieces. The pieces were written with pencil and later covered with a black pen, facilitating understanding for some observations (lessons). With the investigation of the central piece of this research, some concerns about the composer's ideas emerged. It is not possible to recognize his real intentions for the piece studied in this work, since he is not present to report. With the author's supposed intentions, the editor exposes his criticality and point of view regarding pertinent doubts throughout the work. The initial research originated in an elective course offered by the guitar teacher in the undergraduate course and discussed with classmates and the teacher himself. However, the analysis of the 1st Brazilian Waltz for two guitars by Francisco Mignone resulted in a critical edition, through the lessons observed throughout this article. The lessons report what conclusions were reached by the editor, and what reasons(s) supported his hypotheses.
