ABSTRACT
In the extensive work of Heitor Villa-Lobos, the chamber music reveals important aspects
of the composer’s musical writing, as the continuous system of accumulation and
succession of new ideas. This present work aims to Villa-Lobos’ creative continuity and
admits the existence of musical gestures in the Fantasia Concertante para Piano, Clarinete
e Fagote as energetic shapings through time. The approach to the musical gestures in the
Fantasia Concertante was based in the studies of R. S. Hatten from the book Interpreting
Musical Gestures, Topics and Tropes: Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, which has established
a close relationship with performance procedures, prioritizing musical elements hardly used
by traditional analytical theories, like articulation, dynamics and accentuation. Through
virtuosity elements, the musical gestures of the Fantasia Concertante strongly explore the
instruments possibilities of execution and offer to the Fantasy genre a “concertante”
character. Moreover, the way in which the instruments’ timbres are combined shows a
close association with the thematic elements’ development. On the basis of the data offered
by the score, the analysis of musical gestures in the Fantasia Concertante supplied
essential information for interpretative decisions, pointing to a research of qualitative
nature.
