Um exercício analítico no estudo nº 04 para violão solo de Villa Lobos a partir do método inventividade melódica

Abstract

This article proposed to apply a harmonic-melodic analysis to a representative post-tonal piece of the 20th century, taking as an example Study no4 for solo guitar by the composer Vil- la Lobos. In the search for answers about the structure of the piece, we used the Melodic In- ventiveness method, which is based on the tension and resolution relationships achieved through the confrontation between the melodic contour (soprano voice and bass line). Through this reading it can be suggested the understanding of the cadential movements of the first exposition of the theme in Study no4, an excerpt which we propose to analyze. From the results obtained, we believe that this method can become a helper both in the mapping of the work (reading) as well as being used as an analysis model for other post-tonal pieces.
