Mémoires…Miroirs: Conferências do Simpósio Internacional Jorge Peixinho

This volume gathers a selection of presentations from the international colloquium Jorge Peixinho – Mémoires…Miroirs, organised by the Centre for the Study of the Sociology and Aesthetics of Music (CESEM) in the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences at Nova University Lisbon, in collaboration with the Caixa Geral de Depósitos/Culturgest Foundation, on 8–9 October 2010. Over the course of two days, around thirty researchers, musicians, and musicologists discussed the music of Jorge Peixinho, opening new horizons for understanding, documenting specific aspects of his work, and fostering renewed analytical and interpretative approaches to his scores. Some presentations were followed by fascinating discussions, which are transcribed here with minimal editorial intervention, aiming to retain the colloquial liveliness typical of such a context.

Conceived as a starting point for new approaches, reflections, and studies on the work of Jorge Peixinho, this book is intended for all those interested in Portuguese music and the arts of the second half of the 20th century.
