Abstract

This article deals with the modeling of the compositional system used by the Brazilian composer Camargo Guarnieri (1907-1993) for the creation of the Ponteio Nº12 , from the Second book of his series for piano called Ponteios. This modeling was accomplished through a detailed observation of the behavior of several musical parameters used in this work by the composer. Based on quantitative and qualitative observations of how the various structural units of this piece interrelate, progress, and change in the course of musical time, it was proposed a compositional system that was used in a second phase, for the compositional planning of Pedro Miguel’s Ponteio Nº 2, for piano.
