Abstract

The pianistic musical performance of post-tonal or contemporary music proposes challenges related to the organization of the compositional material whose sound result differs from the categories of tonal music. The analysis becomes necessary to solve this problem, but an analysis that, from the point of view of interpretative practices, interacts with instrumental practice and assists it.

An analytical approach for performers is proposed in this work, in which information on the work, both contextual and specific, will be crossed with aspects typical of the first stages of preparation for piano performance of the piece Volatile by the Paraguayan composer Daniel Luzko.
