Impronta de Guillermo Tomás en la musicología cubana

Abstract

ABSTRACT

On many occasions the merits of maestro Guillermo Tomás are often reduced to his imprint as a musician and band director. However, it is worth highlighting his commendable work as a musicologist. It was through his studies on the history of music, music theory and musical criticism that made the maestro such a complete man in the conception of him as a professional. He was passionate about phenomena related to music, its history and its relationship with human beings and society. In this sense, the musicological tradition is supported by musical practice and aesthetic thought. Its main peculiarity is that its technical theory, while dealing with an autonomously constituted language, establishes a solid technically own organism while at the same time a difficulty of conceptual transition, both intradisciplinary and, above all, external and critical.

Keywords: Cuban musicology, Musical theory, Art criticism.
