Abstract
This article presents a systemic model of expressiveness, required for emotional communication in a musical performance, based on the convergence of multiple factors that interact with each other, related to the composer, the musical work to be interpreted, the performer, the audience, and the cultural setting in which the music is performed. This expressiveness is not considered an innate talent of the performer, but the result of the construction of a musical identity through a transdisciplinary pedagogical proposal. The proposal considers the musical development of the interpreter in which musical technique is important, it also includes questions related to interpretation reinforced by transdisciplinary bridges with other arts, such as theatre or dance (body expression), plastic arts, literature, and cultural history, reinforcing their sensitivity and creativity. This correlation of visual, spatial, bodily, literary, and acoustic experiences, and the development of reflection and dialogue processes in relation to the experiences and learning, may provide a new way of perceiving the work, which may be reflected as a new reality in the expression at the time of interpretation. A pedagogy focused on systemic-transdisciplinary learning includes the awareness process itself and is open to uncertainty, that is, it allows reflections based on experience to act on ourselves, and to "go beyond" reflection. Sometimes we block this process and fail to find the meaning itself. The practice of the lived expressive experience proposes an awareness between oneself and the elements of the environment. The experience and the reflective dialogue around it help us find the meanings of the experience lived in ourselves. This reflection on the lived experience directly influences the construction of the artist's identity thanks to "narrating experiences", and this identity of the artist bears his expressiveness as its characteristic seal. The systemic model, based on Forrester's System Dynamics approach, is an original contribution that introduces the technique of modelling and simulation in music research.
