Abstract

ln spite of the enormous ideological and aesthetic differences between the main protagonists of Lisbon's musical life in the period between the two world wars, they all have in common their concern with giving a meaning to the expression 'Portuguese music'. Until now, however, insufficient attention has been given to the weight of the stated ideas of others in the formation of each individual's manner of thinking. The author seeks to show how others' ideas were used by Lopes-Graça to create, through argument, his own position in relation to the search for a tradition for Portuguese music in the crucial years of his first professional experiences.
