Abstract

This thesis discusses about the relationship between contemporary music and rhetoric, essential device for understanding ancient music, but that has been underrated in the analysis of more recent objects. To update the rhetoric to the current thought this study it is referenced by the Treatise on Argumentation, written by Chaim Perelman and Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca, since it has rehabilitated studies of rhetoric in the twentieth century. From this framework it is explored the dimensions in which rhetoric integrates the current musical discourse, specifically trough the analysis of pieces written by Luciano Berio and Giacinto Scelsi (AU)
