Mathieu-André Reichert (1830-1880) e as transitividades de uma “flauta mágica” no Brasil oitocentista

Abstract

Although he was an important character for the flute in Brazil in the 19th century, there are still few researches dedicated to detailing the possible contributions of Mathieu-André Reichert (1830-1880) to the practice and to the historical trajectory of the instrument in the country, a significant gap because it is a repertoire that possibly expresses, through the flute, a “transitive identity” (LLANOS, 2018, p. 96) whose contribution to Brazilian music seems not to have been occasional. By dialoguing with the available literature and conducting a hemerographic survey of sources not yet discussed, the article proposes a "transitive" reading around Reichert's trajectory and works, seeking to demonstrate how one of his best-known pieces – A Faceira – circulated indistinctly between theaters, private soirees and “choro” notebooks.
