The narrative about the personality of the human being is created on the basis of his experience of the outer world surrounding him and what remains of that experience in his inner world. The purpose of this article is to recreate a musicological narrative about Roberto Falabella, both as musician and composer, on the basis of new readings and fresh views about the story of his life. This narrative has a close relationship with the text being narrated and will lead to the identification of both the ethics and the aesthetics supporting his being and his work. Besides it will serve as the basis of an hermeneutic analysis of two compositions –the Estudios emocionales for symphonic orchestra (1957) and the Sonata for violin and piano (1954)– which are so apparently dissimilar.La narrativa que se construye en torno a la personalidad del ser humano proviene de la experiencia del mundo exterior que lo circunda y del sedimento que se genera en su mundo interior. Sobre la base de nuevas lecturas y miradas a la historia de la vida del compositor Roberto Falabella, este trabajo tiene como propósito recrear un relato musicológico de su figura como músico-creador. El relato, en estricta relación con el texto de lo narrado, nos ayuda a reconocer su visión ético-estética que alimenta su ser y su hacer. Además nos permite acercarnos a un análisis hermenéutico de dos de sus obras tan aparentemente disímiles como los Estudios emocionales para orquesta (1957) y la Sonata para violín y piano (1954).
