Making a Virtue of Necessity

Schenker has a puzzling and controversial habit of claiming that musical works must be as they are and that their features are somehow necessary. I argue that Schenker's necessitarianism becomes comprehensible if it is recognized as an outgrowth of his methodological organicism, which is in turn motivated by his Hanslickian musical absolutism. What emerges from this triangulation of commitments is that Schenker's interpretive practice accords with the scientific precepts Kant's philosophy of biology attempts to establish. This result casts new light on the purport of Schenker's graphical technique.

Este artigo elabora uma leitura sobre a trajetória da teoria schenkeriana: das reflexões sobre a linguagem e a genealogia da música no artigo de 1895, Der Geist der Musikalischen Technik, até a expressão derradeira de sua metodologia analítica em 1935, em Der Freie Satz. Reúne as questões que motivaram o desenvolvimento dessa teoria, dando especial enfoque às transformações do conceito de motivo e das metáforas organicistas. Observa como esses dois aspectos são desenvolvidos conjuntamente ao longo de 40 anos de produção teórica, demonstrando a íntima conexão entre aspectos técnicos e teóricos. A resolução de problemas, como a causalidade musical e a associação de ideias em sua teoria, é investigada à luz desses aspectos, motivando reflexões epistemológicas e filosóficas sobre o desenvolvimento da complexa musicologia de Schenker. Na exposição desta trajetória, o artigo se depara com diversas questões-chave que compreendem e antecipam o posterior desenvolvimento do método que denominamos hoje em dia como Análise Schenkeriana. Busca-se, com essa exposição, fomentar um diálogo mais complexo da teoria schenkeriana, tanto com o neo-schenkerianismo quanto com correntes do pensamento além do âmbito musicológico.
