Abstract

This works seeks to understand the concept of re-writing and apply it in theanalysis of musical works composed in the XX and XXI centuries. Firstly, the practice areas of the notion of rewriting are delimited, as we understand it, from a theorical approach stemmed mainly in post-structuralist literary criticism in texts by authors such as Gérard Genette, Monique Goullet and Anne-Claire Gignoux. However, the most extensive part of this work is the analysis of different tools and compositional operators related to rewriting on music, which will be observed in Monumentum of Igor Stravinsky, Luciano Berio of Chemins IV, AN of Stefano Gervasoni, and Passo de Manoel Dias of Silvio Ferraz. As part of the research there is also the score and a brief analysis of entorno de nenhum, nenhuma, piece composed by the author of this work, with the intention of the direct application of the idea of rewriting in his own compositional practice (AU)
