Abstract
The problem of organizing the musical discourse in contemporary works has been resolved by Spanish composer Carmelo A. Bernaola (1929-2002) in "Superficie nº4" (1968), with the utilization of commas. Goal of the present text is to show, that in the analyzed work the comma is used, similarly to linguistic grammar, as syntactic and semantic resource fulfilling a triple function as a graphical sign, shaping element, and stylistic rest.
