Intonation on the violin: a compromise between science, art and musical intuition

The objective of our work was to investigate the intonation in the violin, in relation to its sonorous, musical and general context, knowing and integrating some laws of acoustics and psychoacoustics, applying the technical principles in relation to the practice, and putting all this knowledge in fu...

description The objective of our work was to investigate the intonation in the violin, in relation to its sonorous, musical and general context, knowing and integrating some laws of acoustics and psychoacoustics, applying the technical principles in relation to the practice, and putting all this knowledge in function of the musical work. For this we carried out a search of bibliography and of articles that could approach the subject from a wide and diverse look, and on the basis of them we carried out a task of empirical verification in the application of each one of the principles. In this sense, the recorded record of the preparation process of the Recital and Thesis Concert (Villafañe, 2017), and the subsequent feedback between reflection and practice, allowed us to arrive at conclusions. In this paper, we will try to prove that the practical application of the different systems of theoretical tuning is unfeasible and inconvenient within the professional activity of the violinist. The strict and rigid implementation of these guidelines often force the musician to ignore his own musical intuition, preventing him from recognizing the sound context in which he is working, causing disconnection with it, and consequently the lack of certainty in the performance. Explaining the importance of the handling of intonation in the violin, as a form of global and holistic understanding of the sonorous and musical context, is of vital importance for the formation of musicians since, in the last instance, the theory of intonation must be in function of the musical work and not as an end in itself.

El objetivo de nuestro trabajo fue indagar acerca de la entonación en el violín, en relación a su contexto sonoro, musical y general, conociendo e integrando algunas leyes de la acústica y psicoacústica, aplicando los principios técnicos en relación a la práctica, y poniendo todo este conocimiento en función de la obra musical. Para esto llevamos a cabo una búsqueda de bibliografía y de artículos que pudieran abordar el tema desde una mirada amplia y diversa, y en base a ellos se realizamos una tarea de comprobación empírica en la aplicación de cada uno de los principios. En ese sentido, el registro grabado del proceso de preparación del Recital y Concierto de Tesis (Villafañe, 2017), y la posterior retroalimentación entre la reflexión y la práctica, nos permitieron arribar a las conclusiones. En este artículo intentaremos comprobar que la aplicación práctica de los diversos sistemas de afinación teóricos es inviable e inconveniente dentro de la actividad profesional del violinista. La implementación estricta y rígida de estas pautas, muchas veces obligan al músico a ignorar su propia intuición musical, impidiéndole reconocer el contexto sonoro en el que está trabajando, provocando la desconexión con el mismo, y por consecuencia la falta de certeza en la performance. Explicar la importancia del manejo de la entonación en el violín, como una forma de comprensión global y holística del contexto sonoro y musical, es de vital importancia para la formación de los músicos ya que, en última instancia, la teoría sobre la entonación debe estar en función de la obra musical y no como un fin en sí misma.
