Etableringen av en norsk klavertradisjon: Interpretative trekk ved Edvard Griegs Ballade op. 24, Geirr Tveitts Sonate nr. 29 op. 129 og Fartein Valens Sonate nr. 2 op. 38.

The theme of this dissertation is three important Norwegian piano works. The dissertation includes a main text, a recording and a critical/practical edition of Valen’s Sonata no.2 op.38. By using a musicological/analytical and artistic approach, this dissertation aims to create a greater understanding for these three works as a part of a Norwegian and continental European piano tradition. The main text investigates the contents of the music and how the works are built. It looks at the performance indications in the score and performance practice traditions (historical recordings). References and allusions to other works in the same genres and to similar piano styles are discussed. By looking at possible autobiographical and metaphorical allusions, the dissertation aims at finding an understanding for the works’ origin and meaning. The critical and practical edition contributes for the first time to correct errors and unclear readings of the existing edition and presents a possible realization of Valen’s incomplete score. The main text also includes general criteria for the interpretative choices on the CD. (Norwegian version only, some parts are translated to English as articles)
A∴418: Um Contributo para a Pesquisa Artística em Música

The A∴418 is a method for the systematization of the interpretative musical conception, oriented to the study of musical interpretation. Through the application of two analysis techniques, the researcher demonstrates the expressive idealization and the respective technical configurations of the sound narrative that he builds, as an interpreter, from the original musical text of the composer. At the end, a final score is produced in which both the composer and interpreter’s details appear. This methodological proposal aims to fill a gap regarding the lack of specific strategies that allow the production of knowledge about this interpretive musical practices, in an objective and verifiable way. The results of applying this method suggest a contributory potential with artistic, scientific, pedagogical and technological implications.
