Abstract

Daniel Moyano wrote Un silencio de corchea while he was exiled in Spain. This particular situation generates a writing based on the memories of a distant space and time, in which music becomes in the paradigm of a way of understanding the universe. The book is structured in two parts: Del tiempo and De la música but, according to Moyano’s words, both refer basically to the same thing. The second part, with an autobiographical tone, constitutes a series of stories about a narrator who remembers his experiences as a musical performer in small villages of Argentina. In this article we analyze in two stories, “Maria Violín” and “Un silencio de corchea”, the special relationship among music, memory and identity construction.
