Uma Trama para Schnittke: Considerações Narrativas para o Concerto Grosso nº1

The present work is an essay on musical narrativity divided in two sections: the first provides a critic revision of academic literature on the issue, from which are extracted some relevant factors of narrative in musical analysis; the second section proposes a narrative approach to the Concerto Grosso n.1 (Alfred Schnittke, 1977) by means of an analysis that considers the points made in the first section. The considerations made here question potential contributions of narrativity to musical comprehension, as well as where it stands regarding the tripartite semiological perspective of J. J. Nattiez.
