The present dissertation has as object of research the work Three studies for Trumpet and Piano, written by José Siqueira in 1963. It was dedicated to the Brazilian trumpeter Valdomiro Alves and is a composition that by its degree of difficulty and compositional structuration can be considered quite relevant for the trompetístico repertoire. The work presents a very complex structure where the author works the compositional elements derived from the Trimodal and Pentatonic systems systematized by him, besides exploring the technical-interpretative difficulties inherent to the trumpet. Thus, this composition was chosen to be studied and worked, with the intention of revealing some of its interpretative details and technical difficulties, suggesting its possible resolutions. For the future researcher to have a better understanding of this work, we chose to structure it in the following way: in the first chapter, we will bring brief information about the nationalist movement, observing how the studied composer is inserted in this context, also presenting biographical information in order to inform and guide future readers about their achievements and their ideas regarding the nationalist movement; in the second, we will discuss the importance of routine studies for Performer in his preparation for the execution of the work Three Studies for Trumpet and Piano, presenting books of studies (methods) of instrumental technique and interpretation, which will serve as subsidies for the execution of the work; and finally in the third chapter, we will present through tables and figures the structural division of the work and we will also highlight interpretive and technical suggestions through selected musical excerpts with the purpose of suggesting technical and interpretative resolutions for future interpreters of the work.
