Abstract

Abstract George Russell conceptualized his Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization as a theory of tonality. He includes an analysis of the opening of Maurice Ravel’s “Forlane” from Le Tombeau de Couperin in the fourth and final edition of his text to demonstrate what his theory—“The Concept”—offers for the analysis of Western art music. This article takes Russell’s claim seriously, discusses The Concept as a theory of tonality, and extends Russell’s analysis to the entirety of “Forlane.” I also connect Russell’s work to broader Black cultural practices and their socio-political resonances.

音调重力的冒险:乔治·罗素评拉威尔的《弗兰》

摘要乔治·罗素将他的吕底亚音阶组织概念概念化为一种调性理论。在他的第四版也是最后一版中，他分析了莫里斯·拉威尔(Maurice Ravel)的《坟墓》(Le Tombeau de Couperin)的《弗兰》(Forlane)的开头部分，以证明他的理论——“概念”——为分析西方艺术音乐提供了什么。本文认真对待罗素的主张，将《概念》作为调性理论进行讨论，并将罗素的分析扩展到《弗兰》的整体。我还将罗素的作品与更广泛的黑人文化实践及其社会政治共鸣联系起来。
