Abstract
The purpose of this artistic research project is to propose a performance proposal of music for violin and piano composed in Colombia by Luis Carlos Figueroa and Mario Gómez Vignes, taking as references the divergences of the sound and stylistic aesthetics of Franco-Belgian and Russian violin schools, pedagogical and performance currents that remained in force until much of the twentieth century, showing particular characteristics regarding the sound production and use of musical expressive elements that marked the difference between the violinists representing each of these two schools.
Taking into account that in Latin America and more specifically in Colombia there has been no pedagogical and performance tradition of the violin with its own aesthetic, as it has happened in Europe, taking these two schools as references can open paths and possibilities for the performance of academic repertoire for violin that has been composed in Latin America.
