This article aims at analyzing the presence of millenarianism in the works of Joachim of Fiore (c. 1132-1202) and Father Antonio Vieira (1608- 1697). First of all, one shows that there is not properly a millenarianism in Joachim’s works, and that the millenarianism attributed to him comes from the Spiritual Franciscans, the Jesuits and also from some apocryphal texts unduly attributed to him. Based on that, secondly, one points out just an indirect relation between Vieira and Joachim, since, besides the fact that the latter was not millenarian, the Portuguese Jesuit did not ground his prophetical ideas on the abbot’s authentic works. Hence Vieira’s millenarianism, very often related to the abbot’s thought by the critics, would be derived from Joachite circles and some pseudo-Joachite texts.

In this paper I shall present some preliminary research on the Crônica do Conde D. Duarte de Meneses, wrote by Gomes Eanes de Zurara between 1464 and1468. I will make a closer study of several chapters in the chronicle, especially chapter 44 (Riiij) and chapter 154 (CLiiij), which expound the warrior values and Christian virtues that defined the chivalric profiles of the Lusitanian nobility. The chapters selected retell exemplary deeds through which Zurara highlighted among many other types of warlike attitudes that were part of the whole relationship of medieval man to war: the obedience to the captain versus the execution of chivalric prowess. In this chronicle Gomes Eanes de Zurara tried to define an ideal of chivalry adapted to the needs of the Portuguese expansion in North Africa during the fifteenth century, which, in turn, would serve as a model for all the Portuguese warrior nobility in Africa.

Original title: A Sonata para Violino e Piano K304 em Mi Menor de Mozart (1756-1791): relações temáticas e formais das Schemata

Published in The Medieval Aesthetics

Keywords: Galant Style, Schemata, Sonata, Violin and Piano Sonata in E Minor K304, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

This paper analyses the relations between form and Schemata in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s E Minor Violin Sonata K304 (1778). Since this work is the composer’s sole composition in this genre in minor mode and has been attributed with remarkable expressive features once it was conceived during his travel to Mannheim, Munich and Paris – travel that coincide with his mother death – it’s compositional strategies and process are of particular interest. For this reason, through an approach via the Musical Schema concept, we seek to establish logical relations between the composer’s choice for Schemata disposition, form and unity in the work. We conclude that the either reiteration of internal variation process (especially increasing chromatism) in the Schema as the sharing of a set of Schemata on both movements of the work not only support the motivical but also the textural and aural unity, displaying aspects yet not much explored in the compositional process of this First Vienna School master.
