音级集合理论的现实意义与展望

Theory of Pitch-Class Sets: The Prospect and the Practical Value

音级集合理论是在现代音乐创作实践与理论研究的基础上,借助与音乐理论发展有密切关系的数学手段,逐步发展形成的一个重要的理论体系。其标记及表述方法与多种音高结构关系的研究成果具有同现代基础乐理相关的及更深层次的意义,对于我国音乐研究、创作及教学产生了较大影响。它并非是一种终结的或仅仅局限于固有模式的分析理论,可以继续发展,有着较为广阔的前景和实用价值。应在标记的规范性、准确性方面,在深入学习研究及结合我们实际情况用于创作与教学方面,加以更多的重视,进行更具体的探讨与交流。

The theory of pitch - class sets has gradually developed into an important theoretical system in the last century, based on modern musical composition and theoretical study, and aided by mathematical means closely related to the development of music theory. The results of the research have the significance of modern essential music theory and even more profound importance. Its influence has reached the realms of music research, composition and instruction in China. It is a proximate theory, rather than an ultimate one, which has a broader prospect and much more practical value. In consideration of our actual conditions, more emphasis should be laid on the aspects of application norm, music composition and classroom teaching; more specific discussion and exchange should be encouraged.
