Abstract

The aim of this article is to exemplify how the information obtained through research and analysis can enhance the performance of a musical work. Taking this objective as our starting point, we discuss the differences between the work of the composer and the performer, the characteristics of the musical notation and its reading process, as well as the differences between interpretation and critical performance. We focus our article on the importance of the musical analysis and research to raise investigative questions which can help the musical interpretation and performance.
