Summary/Abstract: arfare is a common phenomenon of the evolution of humanity in the process of building the society of our times. Moreover, the implications that the concept has in the realm of human social perspectives have often been studied by multiple political, historians, and social researchers. The question that remains is what implications have a strictly external concept in the sphere of musical art? Music is a complex phenomenon that has accompanied humanity since its inception by adopting multiple forms. The compositional act itself can be defined, in a broad sense, as the processing of a certain musical content springing from the infinite cognitive processing of the individual. What are the implications of the war in this whole preamble? In the psychological dimension, it is a certainty that people are influenced in their development and evolution as social individuals largely by the environment, as well as by genetic predispositions, this being the debate in continuous progress called nature versus nurture. Therefore, the personalities and characters of musical composers are influenced by the political events that happened in their times.
