探析梅特纳钢琴奏鸣曲《回忆》

An Analysis of Medtner’s Piano Sonata Memory

梅特纳的创作领域主要在钢琴音乐方面。其中钢琴套曲《被遗忘的旋律》中第一首作品《回忆》是一首单乐章式的奏鸣曲,该首作品结合了巴洛克、古典、浪漫等不同时期的创作特点。该曲创作于俄罗斯十月革命期间,反映了梅特纳和同时期人们因遭受生活困境而心情忧郁的心理状态,梅特纳依靠对过往美好生活的回忆渡过了这一艰难时期,为此创作了该首作品。由于该作品结合了多个时期的风格特点,因此演奏技法也需要多变,如复调音乐的处理,踏板的运用以及装饰的奏法等,针对这些演奏技法进行了多方面的探索分析,提出了有指导性的建议。

Medtner’s significant achievements are mainly in the piano music. Among them, the first work “Memory” in the piano suite “Forgotten Melody” is a single movement sonata, which combines Baroque, classical, romantic and other creative characteristics of different periods. The song was written during the October Revolution in Russia, reflecting the melancholy state of mind of Medtner and the people of the same period who suffered from the plight of life. Medtner relied on the good memory of the past life to tide over this difficult period, for which he created the work. Because this work combines the styles of many periods, the performing techniques also need to be varied, such as polyphonic music processing, pedal application and decorative playing methods, etc. In view of these performance techniques, this paper explores and analyses in many aspects, and puts forward some instructive suggestions.
