Resumo

O presente trabalho consiste em examinar a presença dos elementos característicos do choro tradicional nos âmbitos melódico, harmônico, rítmico e formal no Choro Torturado de Camargo Guarnieri buscando investigar os afastamentos composicionais em relação ao paradigma da definição de choro vigente em sua época. Estes afastamentos estão fundamentados basicamente no conceito de Pantonalidade estabelecido por Rudolph Reti em Tonality, Atonality, Pantonality – A sudy of some trends inTwentieth Century Music (1958).

This study aims at identifying the presence of characteristic elements of the traditional choro in the melodic, harmonic, rhythmic and formal aspects in Camargo Guarnieri's work Choro Torturado. The purpose is to determine the level of compositional departure in this piece by establishing a relationship with a paradigm of the choro genre of the same period. These compositional departures are based on the definition of pantonality as established by Rudolph Reti in his book Tonality, Atonality, Pantonality — A Study of some trends in Twentieth-Century Music (1958).
