百年奏鸣——20世纪中国音乐历史研究的若干问题

Some Issues On Chinese Music Historical Research in 20th Century

本文就 2 0世纪中国音乐的文化属性、历史分期、形态特征、研究对象等问题 ,提出了自己的一些看法 ,认为 :近现代音乐历史的研究 ,应当从 2 0世纪中国音乐历史的“断代史”研究入手 ;在研究方法上应当“由大而小”、“由泛而专”。文章指出 :近现代音乐史的研究 ,如果一味地与宏观的“大历史学”、“大史学界”的研究保持一致的话 ,研究活动本身就会脱离于音乐艺术的本体属性和社会音乐生活的实际。在具体操作方法上 ,作者提出 :1、应当改变过去“大而全”的传统学科思维 ,“收窄”战线 ,把着力点放在做“主流”的音乐创作、主流音乐家的研究上面。 2、在当前乃至今后一个历史时期内 ,应当把宏观的近现代中国音乐的诸多问题做体系化、门类化、具体化的处理。 3、把一些交叉性的“问题史”、“门类史”拿出来 。
