Work & Edition Details

The methodical doubt of Francisco Sanchez was the revolutionary instrument –later perfected by Descartes in his Discourse on Method– that paved the way for the development of modern European thought. Sanchez was born in Tui (Galiza) in 1550 and was baptised in Braga (Portugal) in 1551, because his father, a Jewish doctor, had to flee from the Spanish Inquisition. In 1562, he began studying in Bordeaux and died in 1623 as a professor at the University of Toulouse. This work was written in memoriam of Xosé Maria Álvarez Blázquez, who was also from Tui, and like Sanchez, suffered political-religious intolerance. He was a prudent, learned and erudite man of immense humanism. I had little contact with him, but I admired him as a publisher and for his commitment to disseminating Galician culture in those dark times of dictatorship. His father, a doctor like Sanchez’s father, was murdered by the fascist hordes in Tui, behind the church of São Domingos, and he himself was deported. The structure and the whole organisation of the work is based on the complexes [4,5,6], [9,7], [5,2,8,7,8,13], [9,6] and [6,5,9]. The perfect chords that appear in this and other works of my authorship, particularly in the endings, have no tonal function. It is my musical signature, and they result from the superposition of 9+7 or 7+9 half-tones taken from my name and surname and, in this case, also from Francisco Sanchez’s. --- A dúvida metódica de Francisco Sanchez foi o instrumento revolucionário –mais tarde aperfeiçoado por Descartes no Discurso sobre o Método– que abriu o caminho para o desenvolvimento do pensamento europeu moderno. Sanchez nasceu em Tui (Galiza) em 1550 e foi batizado em Braga (Portugal) em 1551, porque seu pai, médico judeu, teve de fugir da Inquisição espanhola. Em 1562, começou a estudar em Bordéus e morreu em 1623 sendo catedrático da Universidade de Toulouse. Esta obra foi escrita in memoriam de Xosé Maria Álvarez Blázquez, que também era de Tui, e tal como Sanchez, padeceu a intolerância político-religiosa. Era um homem prudente, douto, erudito e de imenso humanismo. Tive pouca relação com ele, mas admirava-o como editor e pelo seu empenho divulgador da cultura galega naquele obscuro tempo da ditadura. O seu pai, médico como o pai de Sanchez, foi assassinado pelas hordas fascistas de Tui, nas traseiras da igreja de São Domingos, e ele próprio foi desterrado. A estrutura e toda a organização da obra está baseada nos complexos [4,5,6], [9,7], [5,2,8,7,8,13], [9,6] e [6,5,9]. Os acordes perfeitos que aparecem nesta e noutras obras da minha autoria, particularmente nos finais, não têm qualquer função tonal. É a minha assinatura musical, e resultam da sobreposição de 9+7 ou 7+9 meios tons retirados do meu nome e apelido e, neste caso, também do de Francisco Sanchez.
