Abstract
A evolução da linguagem musical em Hindemith e Schönberg, em dois pólos europeus de Berlim e Viena, de alguma forma se enraizou numa vertente comum nas obras de início do séc. XX, pela conexão ao movimento expressionista. Embora assumindo formas diferentes nos dois compositores, o direcionamento via um crescente atonalismo acompanhou a integração da estética expressionista, com temas de introspecção freudiana, sendo que a fragilidade psicológica explorada no Expressionismo como abordagem existencial e social se traduziu num cromatismo crescente até à dissolução total da tonalidade e, por redundância, numa anulação dos elementos constitutivos de discurso musical, enquanto o próprio discurso e a psique das personagens se fragmentavam, explorando os limites do possível ou do aceitável. Depois desta fase, cada um dos compositores seguiu o seu caminho, consolidando o seu próprio sistema musical numa reorganização cabal do material que, tendo passado por um processo de desconstrução extrema, reaparecia totalmente reorganizado.
At the beginning of the XX century, the evolution of the musical language in Hindemith and Schönberg, in Berlin and Vienna, had a similar root in the connection to the expressionist movement. Although taking different forms in the two composers, the direction towards a growing atonalism accompanied the integration of expressionist aesthetics, and its themes of Freudian introspection. The psychological fragility explored in expressionism as an existential and social approach was translated into a growing chromatism growing to the total dissolution of tonality, and an annulment of the constituent elements of musical discourse. Meanwhile the discourse and psyche of the characters were fragmented, as exploring the limits of the possible or acceptable. After this period, each of the composers followed his path, consolidating their own musical system in a complete reorganization of the musical material.
