In particular, relativity has shown space and time to have physical reality (incontrast to a priori conditions of objects), and the hierarchical structure of tonality wasabandoned in favor of progressively more systematic methods of composition evolvingfrom twelve-tone music. By singling out the migration of the scientific understanding ofspace and time to musical terrain, as legitimization and metaphor for some theoreticalproposals of integral serialism, a parallel is drawn between the two fields which shows theentwinement of scientific output and artistic theory and practice in post-war avant-garde. %K Musical time and space %U http://www.eras.utad.pt/docs/martingofinal.pdf
