音乐分析可以模棱两可吗?
Abstract
中文
模糊性是音乐本体分析中常见的现象,它通常表现为对音乐本体的认识存在着多重诠释的可能。然而,关于模糊性这一概念在音乐分析的语境中如何界定,以及这个概念是否适用于音乐分析领域,学界尚未有明确的共识。本文尝试从抽象层面与具体语境的角度,界定音乐作品中确实存在的模糊性现象;并从聆听过程的角度,解释模糊性这一概念如何为音乐作品的理解与诠释增添一定的美学意趣。于演奏而言,以聆赏过程的视角看见模糊性的存在, 也能一定程度上帮助演奏者寻找与听众感知交互的切入点。

Ambiguity is a common phenomenon in musical ontological analysis, typically manifesting as the possibility of multiple interpretations in understanding musical events in actual music works. However, there is no clear consensus in academia regarding how to define the concept of ambiguity within the context of Music Analysis, or whether this concept is applicable to the field of Music Analysis. This paper attempts to define the ambiguity phenomena that genuinely exist in musical works from both abstract and specific contextual perspectives and explains from the perspective of the listening process how the concept of ambiguity adds certain aesthetic interest to the understanding and interpretation of musical works.
