Resumo

This work consists of two parts, the first being the analysis of “Ponteio No. 29”, by Camargo Guarnieri, based on the methodology called Gestalt Modeling (hereinafter GM). The analysis was carried out from the perspective of Gestalt Theory based on two laws of perceptual organization. It aimed to stipulate the general guidelines for the hypothetical system that created that work by Guarnieri and, finally, to generate subsidies for the planning of a new composition using this same compositional system. The compositional planning of the new work consists of the second part of this paper. The final conclusions indicate that GM is: 1) a useful and distinctive resource for the analysis of musical works and composition, as it coherently presents new ways of organizing musical elements; and 2) a possible methodology for compositional pedagogy, as it provides subsidies for a conscious practice and the development of students’ own compositional language.
