Abstract

The life-history method as a scientific research method in music gains prominence in the twentieth century and grows even more in the present. Its usefulness is appreciated when writing about referent characters in artistic practices for the human being, cultural exchanges, study of personalities, and their effects in the training of new generations of musicians, among others. This method motivated this work, which had as an objective to elucidate the steps that constituted the methodological strategy of application of life-history in musical research, rooted in a study of the artistic output of Leo Brouwer. From a predominantly qualitative approach, interviews and an analysis of documents were combined, which made possible a reflection on the life- history method and its implementation in music research.
