Description:
In this paper the relationship between theory and composition is explored from a starting point which accounts together musical and esthetic theories. At the classical time, there was a complete agreement between the matter of the treaties and the practice of the composer. At the beginning of our century progressively the bridge was disrupted. Both serialisms, after the two World Wars leaved the Edenic place: the fruits of the science tree were consumed, and the hegelian prediction was realised: the concept was substituted to the picture. In these radical changes, what is the role of artificial intelligence? the one of structuralism? Did the composer have the possibility to follow other ways? What have we to think about theories first worked out? Furthermore, in such a conjuncture the musical analysis seems to reach its autonomy. Finally the main problem does not lie in the formalism itself, as people sometimes believe it, but perhaps in the weakness of theories which could have been falsified. There, we discover the origin of colapsing a certain kind of invention: the proliferation of aleatory music.
