难道真的“没有任何关联”吗?——也谈J.S巴赫《哥德堡变奏曲》咏叹调和30首变奏之间的关联

Is There Really “no Relevance”?——On the correlation between the aria and 30 variations of J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations

巴赫《哥德堡变奏曲》的主题咏叹调和30个变奏除了拥有相似的固定低音旋律线之外,还存在着多个层面的不同关联:例如主题节奏特征的延续保留、咏叹调中各种短小动机在变奏的中变化发展以及固定旋律在不同变奏中的运用等。这些多方面的关联,确立了咏叹调作为其变奏曲主题的必然性,同时展示出巴赫对于变奏曲体裁的深刻认识以及丰富多样的创作技法。

Apart from similar fixed walking basses, the theme aria and 30 variations of J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations are correlated on multiple levels:preser vation of characteristics of rhythm of theme, changes of motivations of aria through variations, application of cantus firmus to variations, etc. These multi-faceted correlations establish aria as the theme of variations and reflect Bach's profound understanding of variations as a genre and his varied creation techniques.
