SUMMARY:

This research aims to present and discuss the pedagogical aspects found in Estudo No. 1, a piano work

by the composer Waldemar de Almeida. In doing so, it also seeks to highlight the composer’s

biography, some of his artistic and pedagogical achievements within the cultural context of Rio

Grande do Norte, and, finally, to expose some of his technical and aesthetic principles through his own

words. The study intends to demonstrate how Almeida unified his artistic and educational pursuits and

how this fusion is manifested in his works, with particular emphasis on Estudo No. 1. Thus, the

research is built upon a contextual investigation — biographical, musicological, and pedagogical —

while also addressing, indirectly, the history of piano technique and how it was established in Rio

Grande do Norte through Almeida’s influence up to the present day.
