RESUMEN: La música especulativa, o teoría musical con base en conceptos
esotéricos, ha existido paralelamente con la teoría
musical científica y cultural desde la antigüedad
clásica. Lejos de haberse extinguido tras la revolución
científica, la música especulativa ha sobrevivido de manera
un tanto subterránea durante toda la modernidad y
en tiempos de crisis culturales ha resurgido repetidamente
con esperanzas de renovación espiritual y un retorno
a una música más “natural”, leal a sus fuentes
físicas y acústicas y menos “contaminada” por elaboradas
construcciones “artificiales” del tipo de las surgidas
en la “alta modernidad”. Este artículo ofrece una visión
general de la música especulativa y de la actual investigación
musicológica, artística y científica en este campo.ABSTRACT: Speculative music, or music theory with an esoteric base,
has existed since ancient times in parallel with more
mainstream aspects of music theory and musicology. Far
from becoming extinct after the scientific revolution of
the 16th and 17th centuries, speculative music has survived
modernity, and recurs in times of cultural crises,
repeatedly offering hopes of a spiritual and humanistic
renewal through the return to more “natural” forms of
music, closer to the physical and acoustical bases of sound
than the elaborate and “artificial” intellectual constructs
developed during “high modernism”. This article offers a
general overview of this less known aspect of musicology
and musical theory, in its conceptual, historical, and
current aspects
