This article examines the use of atonal and dodecaphonic music techniques and procedures by the Brazilian composer Eunice Katunda in the works Variations on a popular theme and Four epigraphs, composed, respectively, in 1943 and 1948. Starting from the enquire placed by the composer in a text entitled Atonalism, dodecaphony and national music (1952) “Is it possible to compose atonal or dodecaphonic music of national character?”, the article poses a reflection about the paths taken by Eunice Katunda in the first and second phases of her compositional trajectory – a Formation Phase (until 1945) and the Música Viva Phase (1946-50), when the aforementioned works were composed. These works were analyzed according to pertinent bibliography and compared to other compositions studied and/or performed by Eunice Katunda in recitals, such as the series Guia Prático, Brinquedo de Roda and Cirandas, by Heitor Villa-Lobos, and to the procedures used by Camargo Guarnieri and Hans-Joachim Koellreutter.
