Abstract :
The article examines the nature of the immanence of sound in the Lectures on Internal Time-consciousness of 1905 and in Husserl’s numerous working notes, which extend from 1893 to 1917. Not reducible to the immanence of the cogitatio, whose adequate perception without remainder in principle excludes the donation by adumbrations, the immanence of the sound must be able to be constituted within the very adumbration which, in the duration, causes changes to exist in the unchanged. This is so because in adumbration the identity of the sound with itself is permeated with multiple temporal phases, which Husserl describes in order to gain a more accurate understanding of what the appearance of a unity in consciousness is. Underneath melody and its divisibility of principle, the sound of which melody is made is a non-closed unit, a unit of composition the phenomenological analysis of which must be able to give an account without dividing duration in its very appearance.
