Abstract

This project suggests a new model of musical analysis in order to complement the traditional one. The recognition of two atractors according to the René Thom’s Catastrophe Theory and the simultaneous identification of formal conflicts in the structural, aesthetic and harmonic analysis of the Sonata Form are the starting-point of this project. Its main purpose is to determine the cusp point catastrophe in the Sonata Form in order to define a total change on its morphology, which begins to communicate a new formal structure in the discontinuity curve.
