Abstract

This research aims to comprehend the whole musical activities constructed along the 40's decade by the participation of Hans Joachim Koellreutter in Música Viva. If, in the first years of this decade, it is understood as a group or society, further than in 1944 it assumes a specific feature around the leadership of Koellreutter in relation of his students and ex-students. Composer and professor arising from the German Neue Musik circles, his character is controversial and raises a movimentation in this period that pretends to found a new stage in Brazilian musical modernity (at least the main interpretations start from this consensus). In order to propose an historical reading of his trajectory, the present dissertation divides itself in three different chapters with particular interpretative and documentary coherence, deepening specific dilemmas on each step given by the composer, looking forward to comprehend him in his historicity. This gesture aims to distance the resources of memory and attain us to the link between the documentary and musical sources, without identifying them – above all in order to question the specific serial form that is created by the german-brazilian composer. In this horizon, the concept of the avant-garde comes up as an element of contradiction, following the assumption that it is a self-said term and that it is constructed theoretically. However, when we think in the route of the “style” of his compositions and the philosophy of the material that begets it, there is a process that cannot be compared to the precedent modernism. (AU)
