Abstrakt:
In the history of European musical theory up to the present, we can perceive an effort to deepen the rational, exact theoretic conception of the structure of musical language. This is especially so when such components and parameters are explored that enable such a conception (pitches and structures formed by them – horizontally (melodies) or vertically (simultaneities). At present, music theory (similar to many other scientific fields) has met the limits of exact quantitative understanding that originated in the ideas and images of 18th century rationalism. It tries to find new ways. One of these possibilities seems to be the young mathematical (and in a larger sense, philosophical) field – the theory of chaos. Its application has already provided much inspiration across numerous scientific branches. This study brings some suggestions on methods to apply some perspectives of the theory of chaos on the system of working methods in music theory.
