Abstract:

The author explains his analytical method that uses two levels:
 In the first level, he identifies the basic units (neutral level). From this identification, he draws a visual representation.
 In the second level, he searches for musical signification (the poietic and esthesic levels) from the first level.

The author explains why his method is different to the usual bottom-up method.

Finally, to complete his analytical method, he describes three listening strategies:
 “Return intern” concerns the relationship between units through their timbral signature, and “return extern” concerns the connotations and denotations.
 “Musical discursivity” concerns the movement through various levels.
 “Hierarchical relations” concerns those existing between units.
