Abstract

Considering Stravinsky\'s American popular music inflected works (including Ragtime for Eleven Instruments, Preludium for Jazz Ensemble, Tango and Ebony Concerto), the present thesis aims to investigate identity processes through which Stravinsky was possibly challenged by the popular as a starting point for occasional modernist aesthetic possibilities. It also explores hypertextual theory topics as proposed by Genette (1982), in order to examine issues related to hypertextual transpositions in Stravinsky\'s ragtime borrowings. Finally, it carries out a review of theoretical trends relevant aspects, concearning pitch relations (SCHENKER, 1906, 1910, 1922, 1935 and LERDAHL, 2001); texture, density and musical movement (BERRY, 1987); repetition (FERRAZ, 1998); ordered succession (HORLACHER, 2011); and projective potentiality (HASTY, 1997), with the purpose of ascertaining traces of the articulation of these issues into Stravinsky\'s compositional processes. The results obtained by this work point out that the popular borrowings articulated by hypertextual transpositions act as a starting point for the creation of new works, which are structured through multiple pitch centers, levels of the basic space, simultaneous blocks and parallelism.
