Heterophony as a Way of Organizing of the Musical Syntax

In this article we intend to present some aspects related to the origin of the concept of heterophony and the theoretical concerns of some Romanian and foreign composers on this subject. As a practical application model, we present an analysis of a musical text based on the model proposed by Teodor Tutuianu in his book Eterofonii in partituri Bachiene, the book underlying the Spectromorphy course that the author, as a professor, held at the National University of Music in Bucharest. Keywords: Heterophony, musical syntax, Teodor Tutuianu, heterophonic wave, canon, imitation, superposition, singularity, plurality.
