THE FUGUE AND THE PROGRAMMATIC CONCEPT IN TWENTIETH CENTURY MUSIC. RELATIONSHIP AND DETERMINATIONS

Summary/Abstract: The programmatic concept was rarely associated with the fugato imitation and thefugue genre in general because of the antagonism existing between the subjective, literaturizeddimension of the former and the objectivity and rigor characterizing the fugato discourse andtechnique.
