用交响曲创造一个世界:马勒《第二交响曲》的叙事策略探赜

Creating a World with a Symphony:An Exploration of the Narrative Strategy of Mahler's Symphony No.2

马勒的人生观和世界观隐藏在交响曲充满二元对立和哲思的体裁特征之下。“用交响曲创造一个世界”是马勒的创作理念,他以《第二交响曲》展现出交响曲具有包容性的多元复杂的形态。作曲家通过由关联性音调、引导性动机实现的多维想象,以及对死亡的思考和对来世的憧憬,讲述了一个关于葬礼的故事,来寻找生存与死亡问题的答案。

Mahler's outlook on life and the world lies hidden beneath the genre character of the symphony,which is full of binary opposition and philosophical thinking."Creating a world with a symphony"is Mahler's creative philosophy,and with his Symphony No.2 he shows the inclusive and complex forms of symphony.Through multidimensional imagination realized by relational tones,guiding motivations,and reflections on death and longing for the afterlife,the composer tells a story about funerals to find answers to the questions of life and death.
