Abstract

It is usually considered natural that the studyof polyphony is a central part of the musicalformation. This assumption, which containsa highly sophisticated mechanism of culturaldomination, digs into music education at alllevels, both in research and in practice. Thequality of the composer, privileged subject in thetraditional historiography of music, depends onhow much and how well he or she dominatesthe polyphonic language, its schematizedprocedures and analytical speculation. Thehistory of music can find in the study of sourcesalternatives to the score, records of practicesthat reorder the hegemonic narrative.
