Overview
This article proposes a first approach to the possibilities of adapting mathematical elements derived from chess to musical composition based on the analysis of the composition process of the work Chess Studies for String Quartet, composed in 2020 by the 1st author of this paper. The structure of its four movements arises from the superimposition of the geometry derived from a sequence of moves for the execution of Bishop and Knight checkmate on a magic square of the 8x8 board, a magic square of Al-Zarquali (11th century). The analysis delves into the evolution of the musical material used, showing the tendency to give rise to symmetries of pitches and temporal fragments between the different movements of the composition. These symmetries give rise to analogies with the concept of chirality, characteristic of the geometry of chess. Structures that show chirality appear in the work both in sound and temporal space. Este artigo propõe uma primeira abordagem sobre as possibilidades de adaptação de elementos matemáticos derivados do xadrez para a composição musical a partir da análise da obra Chess Studies para quarteto de cordas, escrita em 2020 pelo 1º autor deste artigo. A estrutura dos seus quatro movimentos surge da sobreposição da geometria derivada de uma sequência de movimentos para a execução do xeque-mate do Bispo e do Cavalo num quadrado mágico do tabuleiro 8x8, neste caso, o quadrado mágico de Al-Zarquali (século XI). A análise aprofunda a evolução do material musical utilizado, mostrando a tendência para dar origem a simetrias de alturas e fragmentos temporais entre os diferentes movimentos da composição. Estas simetrias dão origem a analogias com o conceito de quiralidade, característico da geometria do xadrez. Estruturas que apresentam quiralidade surgem na obra tanto no espaço sonoro como no espaço temporal.
