Abstract

In their works, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari urge us to think, even if indirectly, in what way the theoretical-philosophical development could be applied to the composition and the exercise of musical listening. Thus, with a view to enhancing this association between music and philosophy, in this text we will try to define the greatest philosophical-musical concept created by both philosophers. Namely, the ritornello. So that through its chaotic, terrestrial and cosmic seams and textures, the notion of musical-existential devenir is built up. Notion, where the musical argument will reveal itself irrevocably presiding of a founding chaos or, as Deleuze appoints, a germ chaos.
