This article looks at two Spanish composers active in France—Carlos de Castellarnau and Ramon Lazkano—to develop a reflection about how national belonging is used in contemporary art music, specifically for its evaluation and the discourses that are created around it. We see that despite both composers rejecting any essentialist definition of themselves as ‘Spanish’, ‘Basque’, or ‘Catalan’ composers, these labels are continually used to describe them and their music, even though these labels have no specific aesthetic meaning. We reflect on why national origin is used to categorise composers, even in light of their typically transnational career paths. The conclusion addresses the tension between universalism and authenticity that is present when evaluating the work of composers who have followed migratory paths.

西班牙国内外作曲家：论拉蒙·拉兹卡诺和卡洛斯·德·卡斯特拉诺作品中的民族归属感

本文着眼于活跃在法国的两位西班牙作曲家——卡洛斯·德·卡斯特拉诺 (Carlos de Castellarnau) 和拉蒙·拉兹卡诺 (Ramon Lazkano)，以反思民族归属感如何在当代艺术音乐中使用，特别是对其评价和围绕它创作的话语。我们看到，尽管两位作曲家都拒绝将自己定义为“西班牙人”、“巴斯克人”或“加泰罗尼亚人”作曲家的任何本质主义定义，但这些标签不断被用来描述他们和他们的音乐，即使这些标签没有特定的美学意义。我们反思为什么民族血统被用来对作曲家进行分类，即使考虑到他们典型的跨国职业道路。结论解决了在评估走移民道路的作曲家的作品时存在的普遍主义和真实性之间的紧张关系。
