- The fantasy influence in York Bowen´s first viola sonataPublication . Sogorescu-Herdes, Madalina Maria; Alves, Jorge Miguel da CostaFantasy, with its roots in folklore and oral tradition, has long inspired artists across literature, painting, and music to delve into imaginative realms, as a way of expressing their ideas. This project explores the characteristics of the fantasy in arts, with a particular focus on music, through the repertoire of British composer York Bowen. This study is divided into two main sections: an overview of Bowen's influence and style within early XX century British music, and a detailed interpretative analysis of his Phantasy for Viola and Piano, Op. 54, and Sonata No. 1 for Viola and Piano, Op. 5. The first chapter outlines Bowen's artistic legacy, tracing his influences, compositional style, and the unique qualities that make his works so suited for the viola. The second chapter applies the concept of fantasy – rooted in mythology and folklore – to the interpretation of Bowen's viola works, encouraging the imaginative and personal process, contrasting with traditional academic performance training, which might limit artistic autonomy. This project proposes a broader interpretive framework, encouraging the exploration of alternative artistic expressions in Bowen's music, too often limited at lyric expression, due to its extremely romantic style.
