0As Primeiras Paginas REVISADA ORIGINAL AND TRANSCRIBED ETUDE BOOKS FOR VIOLA: A REFERENCE GUIDE FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS by ULISSES CARVALHO DA SILVA (Under the Direction of Dorothea Link and Mark Cedel) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the etudes most commonly used by violists, both violin etudes transcribed for the viola, and viola etudes. The 354 etudes examined here are contained in the well known books by Rodolphe Kreutzer, Franz Anton Hoffmeister, Federigo Fiorillo, Antonio Bartolomeo Bruni, Bartolomeo Campagnoli, Pierre Rode, Jacques-Féréol Mazas, Heinrich Ernst Kayser, Jakob Dont, Johannes Palaschko, and Lillian Fuchs. No comprehensive guides exist that looks at them as a group and identifies the pedagogical and artistic merits of each. This dissertation undertakes a systematic analysis of these etude books and their contents, ranking each etude by level of difficulty and analyzing the specific viola techniques addressed in each etude. The text describes the etudes chronologically, and the tables in the appendix summarize the etudes by level and technique. This analysis has led to the observation that violin etudes focus on developing the technical aspect of playing, while viola etudes tend to give greater emphasis to the compositional quality of the etudes. The general practice of using both the violin and viola etude books is shown to be justified.

His enthusiasm for this subject and the help support he has given made this dissertation possible. During the past four years, he has been not only my teacher, but also a friend, always encouraging and supportive. Thanks to his wife Anna Ho, a friend ready to help in the rough times. I want to include in here many friends whose help and insight was invaluable, among them Dr. Donald Lowe, former director of the Hugh Hodgson School of Music; Dr. Susan Thomas, musicology professor at the same institution; Dinah Piotrowski, a great friend; and all the Brazilian students and their pairs, at the school of music. Thank you all.

A violinist without a strong technical background meets many obstacles performing standard violin literature. This document provides detailed guidelines on how to practice selected etudes effectively from a pedagogical perspective, rather than a historical or analytical view. The criteria for selecting the individual etudes are for the goal of accomplishing certain technical aspects and how widely they are used in teaching; this is based partly on my experience and background. The body of the document is in three parts. The first consists of definitions, historical background, and introduces different of kinds of etudes. The second part describes etudes for strengthening technical aspects of violin playing with etudes by Rodolphe Kreutzer, Pierre Rode, and Jakob Dont. The third part explores concert etudes by Wieniawski and Paganini.

Pablo de Sarasate ~ iii ~ ~ iv ~ À memória dos meus pais ~ v ~ ~ vi ~ Agradecimentos Concluir um doutoramento em Música e Musicologia na especialidade de Interpretação implica uma longa trajectória em que a conciliação do trabalho escrito com a prática do instrumento dificilmente se consegue fazer de modo regular e constante. Este trabalho não teria sido possível sem o apoio de diversas pessoas às quais deixo aqui os meus sinceros agradecimentos. Começo por agradecer à Professora Doutora Vanda de Sá, orientadora deste trabalho, a disponibilidade e o interesse, as sugestões que fez e a generosidade com que disponibilizou algumas fontes. Agradeço ainda a forma estimulante como contribuiu para o alargamento de algumas problemáticas iniciais, a amizade demonstrada e a disponibilidade para ler e aconselhar sobre o conteúdo das notas aos programas que elaborei para os recitais que realizei como parte deste doutoramento. Agradeço ao Professor Doutor Félix Andrievsky todos os conhecimentos que me transmitiu ao longo dos anos em que trabalhei com ele e sem os quais não teria sido possível realizar este trabalho. Agradeço também a disponibilidade que continua a ter para mim, cerca de trinta anos após o primeiro contacto, o estímulo, os conselhos e o interesse com que ouviu grande parte do repertório que interpretei nos recitais.
