In Portugal, this was due to the Haupt and Silva families of builders. In order to understand the interpretation of the time, through the characteristics of the instruments themselves, as well as all the cultural involvement, data was analyzed to understand the difference between the constructions of the Haupt and Silva families, the main builders of the traverse flutes of the time. Historical research was carried out and important data was also collected by interviewing flutist and traverse flute teacher Olavo Barros, who owns one of the original Silva flutes (the Haupt flute belongs to flutist and transverse flute teacher Manuel Cochofel). The sound quality results were obtained from the recordings made by Teacher Olavo Barros of all the notes produced on each flute and were compared and analyzed, represented in graphs, using Spectrogram no. 16 by Richard Horne software.","PeriodicalId":440876,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov.

Also, due to his experience as a teacher, the creation of J. S. Bach also has a great pedagogical importance: among the compositions intended for musical education, we mention: Two- and Three-part Inventions (1723). The invention is a small free-form polyphonic composition, written in an imitative style, with a pronounced improvisational character. The two-part inventions that we have focused on (the first six), true jewels in terms of perfection of form, Bach's fundamental works for the piano, do not contain features of outward virtuosity, but music full of content and depth, the various thematic hypostases emphasizing their emotional substance. Another important aspect is the didactic function of this music, Bachian inventions constantly accompanied the training and improvement of pianists, being ideal due to their complexity, for deepening musical thinking.","PeriodicalId":440876,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov.

It’s essential to be able to understand very well the words that are sung, because they give the “tone” of the entire lyrical-dramatical action. The listeners will perceive the emotion that is conveyed through the verses, and the music, as a unity. I have listened to various interpretations of singers that approached arias, leads, etc, who don’t have good diction, therefore in their musical discourse I could hear the predominance of the vowels A - E - O - U, and I could barely hear the consonants. This way, instead of following the lyrical-dramatic action itself, brought by the music and the words, I was experiencing auditory discomfort. In order to bring their own interpretation to the musical language, and to express mastery, the artist must have theoretical knowledge, and technical training and use them precisely. This way they would be able to reach high performances of the vocal tract, which will lead to the harmonious delineation of a singing style that matches the demands of the musical piece.","PeriodicalId":440876,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov.

The methods of applying these fundamental principles set a precedent for intense controversy, which ultimately proved to be both constructive and creative, with the happy consequence of a significant evolutionary leap in interpretive variety.","PeriodicalId":440876,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov.

This is the whisper of the mystical and transcendental Arietta in the last Beehovenian sonata for piano, her secret, variational message: the last part of the last sonata which seems open, unfinished, concluded however with an evanescent melody that searches its identity at unsuspected heights.
