Behind the scenes: Gilberto Mendes's musical creationThis article concentrates in the work of Brazilian composer Gilberto Mendes (b. 1922) and his documents of processes--actual vestiges of his creational gestures. The analysis of such documents points out to the links between his work and the Brazilian culture and society of the last 40 years. It also shows a fundamental break in his way of thinking, from a compositional technique based on European models, seen here as dual, to another one plural, universal. [Available only in Portuguese]
