Abstract

ABSTRACT Until rather recently, music theory has had little to no truck with performance, whether disregarding it entirely, derogating its corporeal-temporal non-ideality, or issuing it unsolicited prescriptions from atop the ivory tower. Consequently, the dialogue between these two domains, especially in the twentieth century, has been closer to a paternalistic monologue with (understandably) no audience. Happily, a rapprochement is afoot and the prospect of a sustained, salutary, and symbiotic relationship seems increasingly possible, its early fruits provocative and promising. I begin by tracing the relationship of theoria and praxis from Hellenic times to our own, highlighting the philosophical and cultural ideas and ideals that have shaped our terrain. I then survey recent work in performance analysis, in particular that of the last three decades, in which theorists have-- perhaps for the first time--truly listened to performance and performers with open ears and minds. I conclude by offering my approach to the issues at hand, exemplifying it with analyses of Haydn and Chopin that open up what I hope will be intriguing possibilities for performance interpretations.
表演和理论能相互教给对方什么?
直到最近,音乐理论与表演几乎没有任何关系,无论是完全无视它,贬低它的物质-时间非理想性,还是从象牙塔上给它开出未经请求的处方。因此,这两个领域之间的对话,特别是在20世纪,更接近于没有观众的家长式独白(可以理解)。令人高兴的是,和解正在进行中,一种持续的、有益的、共生的关系的前景似乎越来越有可能,其早期成果具有挑衅性和前景。我首先追溯了从希腊时代到我们这个时代的理论和实践的关系,强调了塑造了我们的领域的哲学和文化思想和理想。然后,我调查了最近在表演分析方面的工作,特别是过去三十年的工作,在这些工作中,理论家们——也许是第一次——真正敞开耳朵和思想倾听表演和表演者。最后,我提供了我对手头问题的方法,并以海顿和肖邦的分析为例,为表演解释开辟了我希望将是有趣的可能性。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Musicological Research publishes original articles on all aspects of the discipline of music: historical musicology, style and repertory studies, music theory, ethnomusicology, music education, organology, and interdisciplinary studies. Because contemporary music scholarship addresses critical and analytical issues from a multiplicity of viewpoints, the Journal of Musicological Research seeks to present studies from all perspectives, using the full spectrum of methodologies. This variety makes the Journal a place where scholarly approaches can coexist, in all their harmony and occasional discord, and one that is not allied with any particular school or viewpoint.
