Modesta Bor (Venezuela): Sonata for Viola and Piano

Modesta Bor (1926-1998) is considered one of the most relevant female figures of Venezuelan contemporary music. Her compositions are known throughout Venezuela and many of them have achieved international projection. She studied with important national figures such as Vicente Emilio Sojo at the National School of Music. In 1960, she got her first award for her Sonata para viola y piano. Later, she studied with Aram Ilich Khachaturian at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Moscow. The work of Modesta Bor is framed in the Venezuelan nationalist tradition of the 20th century. Her work can be differentiated in two aspects: the compositions in which she uses the techniques established by the nationalist musical movement, feature of National School of composition. And those works in which, as a researcher and musicologist, she compiled, cataloged, and transcribed from folkloric manifestations. Her Sonata for Viola and Piano reflects the use of folk, traditional, and national music as a source of inspiration. Evidenced by the use of hemiola, merengue, madrigal and Venezuelan waltz. Also, this piece was written under neoclassicist ideas, evidenced by the management of the texture, use of sonata form, simultaneous use of two chords, Doric and Lydian modes, harmony in fourths, and melodic motives.
