Abstract

This work aims at the use of analytical methods in performance for the study of the Sonatinas for piano solo by Brazilian composer Almeida Prado. These pieces are submitted to a process of several study levels that allow comparisons between the obtained results before and after the contact with the composer. This research seeks to contribute with additional information to the bibliography of works about the performance of pieces by Brazilian composers. The results already achieved have presented useful information to the interpreter of the music by Almeida Prado.
