关于肖邦的研究以及当前的音乐美学专业研究生教学问题

On Chopin Study and Graduate Student Teaching Problems

通过给上海音乐学院在读的硕博士研究生开设的一个通过阅读音乐作品来讨论音乐美学问题的专题研究课程,笔者意在通过感受与分析音乐作品来讨论音乐美学问题,具体要求是围绕作品的音响材料和结构方式、钢琴语言特性、标题内容如何置入作品等问题展开。其中,笔者最期待学生有所突破的,无疑是感性描写、真理置入与意义诠释,以音乐应该有的方式去面对音乐,进而,切中人的音乐感性直觉经验。如何通过语言去描写与表述语言所不能表达的东西,这是音乐学写作的核心问题。对音乐美学而言,一个突出的问题是,音乐美学研究是否必须通过乃至如何通过音响以及声音这一环节。而困难更在于,这样一种音乐学(包括下属各特定专业与研究方向)自身的学科语言究竟又在哪里?就此而言,无论是音乐学分析还是音乐学写作,不仅是一种积极的设想和尝试,相当意义上说,随着理论构架的不断完善和作业程序的不断成熟,其学术含量的充分性与学科自量的有效性,都将会逐渐凸显与彰显出来。音乐学就是运用非音乐的文字语言通过音乐学的方式对音乐进行叙事与修辞。音乐学要在明确其写作对象是音乐、写作方式是音乐学的前提下,进一步从以下两个作业程序切入去强化音乐学写作:1、文字概括与界定,通过词汇、术语、概念、范畴;2、意义表达与陈述,通过语句、命题、观念、思想。进而,建立一套足以与国际学界进行有效交流,并有学科尊严,在中国语境的术语概念命题范畴。

The present writer opens a research course for master and doctor candidates in Shanghai Conservatory of Music, which attempts to discuss musical aesthetic problems through reading musical works, with requirements in the aspects of the sound material and constructing approach, language characteristics of the piano, how the title being integrated to the works, etc. The author expects students to face the music and then touch the emotional experience of the human being. How to use the language to describe and express something that the language cannot express is the core problem of in musicology writing. As for the musical aesthetics, a significant problem is whether musical aesthet- ic study must go through the links of sound and how. What is more difficult is： where is the disciplinary language for such a musicology （including the various subordinate majors and directions）. In this sense, both musical analysis and musicology writing are not only a positive assumption and attempt ; to a certain degree, as the gradual perfection of the theoretical frame and maturity of the operational process, the adequacy and effectiveness of its academic content will gradually manifest itself. Musicology is to use non - musical literary language to narrate music in the musicological way. Under the prerequisite of establishing music as its writing object and musicology as its writing approach, musi- cology must reinforce the musicology writing in two operational processes： word summarizing and defining through words, terms, definitions and domains; meaning expression and narration through sentences, propositions, ideas and thoughts, thus establishing a domain of terms, definitions and propositions in Chinese context which is adequate to have effective communication with international scholars and is of disciplinary dignity.
