Abstract

This work proposes the hermeneutical approach of Heinrich Christoph Koch's (1749-1816) phraseological theory, considered the most clear and complete phraseological systematization of his time since eighteenth century. The objective consists in achieving a historical comprehension of how the relation among musical grammar, rhetoric and aesthetics manifests itself in this theory. It will be investigated the techniques of creation, concatenation and development of musical thought, the influence of persuasion in the application of these techniques and the nature of the units of musical thought, such as phrase, period, structure and form. In order to reconstruct the horizon of meaning of this theory and to comprehend the relation among its constituent parts, it will be examined Koch's treatises, essays and articles and the contemporary studies related to them. The study of the eighteenth century musical thought and its creative procedures conducts to a particular comprehension of the repertoire founded on them, in so far as this study recovers the own parameters of this musical production, to which our perception is not sensible. It becomes evident in the last part of this work, in which Koch's phraseological theory is applied in an analysis of the first movement of W. A. Mozart's string quartet in G major, KV 387, a piece that is recommended by Koch as being a model for its genre (AU)
