Three Examples of rhetoric in the musical discourse

Main Article Content

Edson Zampronha

Abstract

In this text I deal with a specific type of rhetorical discourse in music: the one in which, inside a work, listening understands in a different way what it had listened before. This re-interpretation occurs during the listening of the work itself, and it is one of the main resources for the construction of the dramatic axis of the musical language. I present three examples of this rhetorical discourse: an example taken from Beethoven, another from Varèse and another from my own compositions. I explain how this rhetorical discourse is constructed, and I conclude briefl y comparing the way this discourse is constructed in the three commented works. Key-words: Musical discourse. Rhetoric. Musical language. Beethoven. Varèse. Zampronha.
