Abstract

The musical pieces titled "Studies" also demonstrate to form a vast field of investigation in the areas of music. One of them is the fact that in the twentieth century, the genre study is strengthened by its diversity of proposals and, mainly, by its support as an experimentation environment in the areas of musical performance and musical composition. In this article, we focus on Percussion Studies by Brazilian composer Arthur Kampela in which we highlight a diversity of pedagogical approaches focused on listening, performance and musical composition. In this sense, we focus on the Percussion Study II (1993) - dedicated to the composer Elliott Carter -, addressing three main aspects of the work: (i) the sound-noise relationship in Kampela's work; (ii) morphological themes and instrumental defamiliarization, and finally, (iii) ergonomic implications of gesture in rhythmic complexity.
