Abstract

The article is focused on the figure of the pianist Martha Argerich, as it unfolds in Bloody Daughter (2012), the documentary made by Stéphanie Argerich, with the aim of investigating the limits of the visible and the speakable to represent the affection embodied in the musical memory and the family archive. The conclusions show the innovation of this film regarding the figuration of the art of interpretation in connection with the representation of the experience of motherhood, which allows us to discover the relevance of music for the configuration of affective memory.
