Estratégias e desafios na leitura à primeira vista para pianistas colaboradores

Abstract

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar as principais dificuldades de pianistas colaboradores em relação à leitura à primeira vista no piano, algo visto como um desafio por grande parte dos músicos, porém, extremamente importante para quem trabalha como pianista colaborador. Ler à primeira vista é tocar pela primeira vez uma peça sem estudo prévio. Um pianista com uma boa leitura poderá se destacar no mercado de trabalho, pois conseguirá ler peças novas rapidamente. Esta investigação é relevante para pianistas devido à carência existente na formação deste profissional no Brasil.

This research aims to explore the main difficulties that accompanying pianists face regarding sight-reading on the piano. Sight-reading is a major challenge for many musicians, but it is crucial for those working as accompanists. Sight-reading means playing a piece for the first time without prior practice. A pianist with strong sight-reading skills can stand out in the job market because they can read new pieces quickly. This investigation is important for pianists since there is a shortage of training for this type of professional in Brazil. The research is divided into three main parts: (1) interviews conducted with accompanying pianists about their experiences with sight- reading; (2) compiling strategies used by professionals that can be tested with early-career collaborative pianists, and (3) testing these strategies with beginning accompanying pianists to prove their effectiveness. The qualitative approach is based on the information collected from the interviews. This study may contribute to the development of new techniques and approaches in preparing pianists for the collaborative music job market.
