São eles os responsáveis por orientar e restringir desde a prática até a concepção daquilo que tomamos por música clássica. Seus mecanismos moldam a prática e transformam a teoria. A partir do exame destes conceitos, tal como entendidos por uma seleção de abordagens advindas da musicologia, da filosofia e da teoria literária, investigaremos nesta dissertação como se formou um determinado cânone. Trata-se daquele pensado pelos compositores surgidos no pós-guerra europeu, sobretudo nos anos de 1946 a 1954. Encabeçados por Pierre Boulez, instituições musicais e compositores, publicações editoriais e programas de orquestra pareciam apontar apenas para um tipo de música: a música serial. Analisaremos aqui como Boulez a defendeu e mobilizou forças para que ela se tornasse a poética mais comentada e praticada nos anos seguintes à Segunda Guerra. Para tanto, analisaremos sobremaneira os textos contidos na sua coletânea de ensaiosApontamentos de Aprendiz. Como veremos, longe de ser uma postura arbitrária, a tentativa de manipulação do cânone levada a cabo por uma série de atores torna-se uma medida política, praticada por aqueles que possuem concepções e determinações do que a música, sua prática e o seu entendimento devem ser. / The concepts of Canon and Tradition are of the most importance inside the artistic debate. Not only they shape our understanding of what music should be but also what we take as being classical music. Their mechanisms help us shape practices and transform what we take as being theories. Through the investigation of the canon’s mechanisms, as exemplified by several notions ranging from musicology, philosophy and literary criticism, we will investigate in this dissertation how one particular canon took shape. It has to do with the music being created and played in the Post-war period, that is, serialism. Far from being the only music composed in those years, Pierre Boulez, among several musical institutions and publications, took every measure to guarantee its power among all the other artistic languages. We will analyze here how Boulez defended that music, being responsible for the dimension it has achieved in those years. In order to do that we will investigate more accurately Boulez’s essays collected in Stocktakings from an Apprenticeship. As we will see, far from being an arbitrary solution, the manipulation of the canon has political implications, responsible for what governs our ways of understanding and practicing music.

This dissertation proposes that the Sonatine broadly unfolds a kinetic structure that stems from the traditional tension-relief model and, consequently, its dependence on tradition proves much deeper than Boulez would acknowledge.

O projeto investiga o processo que o intérprete percorre para vencer os recursos técnicos exigidos pela escrita musical do compositor, com momentos de reflexão interpretativa a respeito dessas exigências estilísticas e técnicas que a linguagem da música contemporânea requer, apresentando algumas visões técnico-interpretativas usadas pelo intérprete na realização progressiva da obra em questão. São apresentadas também discussões entre o intérprete e alguns compositores brasileiros convidados, sobre essas especificidades técnico-interpretativas em trechos desta obra, bem como uma breve descrição das técnicas utilizadas por Boulez tanto para a realização dos trechos pré-gravados, realizados em estúdio, como para a sonorização e a espacialização do som na sala de concerto, no momento da performance / Abstract: The fundamental intention of the present work is the musical realization of the oeuvre ¿Dialogue de L¿Ombre Double¿, from Pierre Boulez, composed for live solo clarinet, together with pre-recorded clarinet and Live Electronics. The project relates the investigation of the process that the performer goes through in order to master the technical resources demanded by the musical writing of the composer, with moments of interpretative reflections regarding the challenges and types of language that contemporary music requires, presenting a few technical-interpretative points of view used by the performer throughout the progressive realization of the researched oeuvre. Discussions between the performer and some invited Brazilian composers regarding the technical-interpretative specificities used in parts of the work are also presented, as well as a brief description of the techniques employed by Boulez for the sonorization and specialization of the sound in the concert hall during the performance / Doutorado / Doutor em Música

Pierre Boulez (1925-2016) composed Dialogue de l'ombre double for clarinet and live electronics in 1985. This same year, Alain Damiens of Ensemble InterContemporain premiered and recorded the work with the help of Andrew Gerzso of Institut de Recherche et de Coordination Acoustique/Musique (IRCAM). The piece alternates between pre-recorded and live sections that are performed with varied levels of amplification and reverberation creating a dialogue between the parts. Boulez also includes detailed instructions for the spatialization of the pre-recorded tracks that play through six equidistant speakers that surround the audience. Furthering the complexity of this work, it is available in two published versions: version aux chiffres arabes (Arabic numeral version) and version aux chiffres romains (Roman numeral version). Each version includes much of the same musical material, but arranged in a different order. Performance of Dialogue de l'ombre double requires extraordinary technical facility and musical understanding from the clarinetist, the dedicated involvement of a highly qualified sound technician, and the use of a spacious, technologically equipped performance venue. This performance guide aims to facilitate greater accessibility and understanding of this challenging work, in order to encourage widespread performance of this extraordinary piece.
