Styles and Extended Techniques in 6 Works for Violin from Paraíba since 1952
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The full thesis for this degree consists of three components: a recording of José Siqueira’s Sonata No. 02, José Alberto Kaplan’s Nordestinada, José Orlando Alves’s Sonatina for Violin and Piano and Introspecções, Ticiano Rocha’s Lágrimas de Oort for Violin Solo, and Marcílio Onofre’s Caminho Anacoluto II for Violin and Piano, scholarly notes to accompany this recording, and a final solo recital presenting these works. The recording was produced in June and July, 2017 at the University of Alberta’s Convocation Hall, while the recital was presented at the same venue on September 17, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. The scholarly notes seek to position the works by these Brazilian composers from the Brazilian state of Paraíba, spanning over 65 years, in an international level. The notes analyze the pieces individually and explore the technical challenges (including various extended techniques), folk tradition associations, and theoretical and compositional features of this music. Finally, this essay evaluates the significance of Paraíba’s composers within the landscape of Brazilian Northeastern violin music contributing to the violin literature as a whole.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
