Abstract
The following are considered, in turn: (1) Form as assimilated experience. Form is conditioned by a dialectic between internal and external determining factors related to detailed compositional writing while external determining factors are dominated by architectonic elements. Also, the form-content relationship is reconsidered here. (2) Temporal transformation of the discursive process. Debussy and Schoenberg, in particular, fostered a contraction of the discursive process that Webern, followed by Boulez and Stockhausen, finished and radicalized. Can perception adjust to the resurgence of the unpredictable? Husserl's Vorlesungen zur Phänomenologie des inneren Zeitberuusstseins helps to address this question on a conceptual level. (3) Possibility of a new compositional approach. This would postulate adherence to a grammar which, after the ravages of chance systems, could only be reconstituted by works providing descriptive principles comparable to those suggested by “weak” generative grammars. In addition to this requirement, the value accorded to “events” has to be enhanced.
