Estudio de la obra de Ian Clarke y su repercusión en las enseñanzas superiores de flauta en España

Abstract

This project is about Ian Clarke, British flute player and contemporary composer for this instrument. The project begins with an approach of Ian Clarke’s life and work, taking into account his personal and musical context and the influences that define his compositional style. Such research is complemented by the musical analysis of three of his works (The Great Train Race, Zoom Tube, Orange Dawn) and the subsequent conclusions. The last part of the project investigates the presence of his repertoire in higher degree in music in Spain. For this, a study of the teaching guides and programmes of the centers that teach this degree is used, as well as multiple interviews with teachers and students who can verify the real situation of his repertoire, that is, if it is actually interpreted or not.
