Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) skrev pianosviten Gaspard de la nuit 1908 som är baserat på tre dikter av Aloysius Bertrands diktsamling Gaspard de la nuit (1842). I denna uppsats undersöks hur Ondines genomgående melodi är uppdelad och hur ackompanjemanget varierar sig samt satsens struktur i sin helhet. Efter att ha spelat verket i några år, analyserat urtext-noterna med musikteoretiska metoder, läst litteratur samt diskuterat vidare om ämnet har melodin visat sig vara uppdelad i fem delar ackompanjerad med mestadels ett ackompanjemangmönster (vilket har främst fyra variationer som turas om genom satsen) samt inslag av primärt fyra andra i mindre utsträckning och satsen vara en ABA form eller snarare lik en sonatform. Denna analys ger en djupare förståelse kring Ondines musikaliska struktur både i ett macro och mikroskopiskt perspektiv. Däremot får man inte glömma att ta detta med en nypa salt då de teoretiska samt analytiska aspekterna har en tendens att stå i vägen för ett organiskt musikaliskt musicerande. Därför bör man behålla sin tidigare förståelse och kombinera den med en mognare för att uppnå en övertygande interpretation som leder åhörare till den värld som kompositören blåst till liv.

In mainstream literary histories, Aloysius Bertrand (1807-1841) is still remembered as the canonical inventor of the prose poem in France. The established classification of Gaspard de la Nuit (1842) within the realm of the prose poem inevitably involves a retrospective appreciation of Bertrand’s work in light of the better-known authors that succeeded him in the history of this genre, such as Baudelaire and Mallarmé. The result is that Bertrand is often viewed as the inventor and/or the precursor of this genre; an important but, ultimately, minor contributor to its development. This hindsight brings with it a risk of critical anachronism against which Bertrand's contribution is often downplayed, especially because his thematic choices are seen to be outmoded, when compared to works by poets writing decades later. This thesis is a re-examination of Bertrand's Gaspard de la Nuit, incorporating an analysis of the cultural context that contributed to its production. The central argument is that in order to fairly assess Bertrand’s work, it is crucial to consider the poet’s contribution to, as well as his position in, the wider cultural exchange typical of his time. Using this contextual and historical approach, this thesis examines and challenges some of the main traditional considerations of Bertrand, such as his being a petit romantique, his provincialism, his unoriginality, and his role as the precursor and/or inventor of the prose poem. The overall aim is to assess fairly Bertrand’s unique synthesis of contemporary cultural and literary material with his own original work. By emphasising the crucial role of cultural exchange at the time of Gaspard de la Nuit’s production, we are thus able to begin to understand Bertrand in his own terms, rather than those of his successors, ourselves included, challenging commonly-held views and opening up new avenues for research.

Contudo, só atualmente têm surgido análises que versam a respeito de sua temática, não menos complexa do que os meandros do poema em prosa. O medievalismo de Bertrand, dessa forma, mostra-se muito mais rico do que aquele que entrara em voga na década de 1830 na França, não só pela riqueza de detalhes (muito longe de um simples pitoresco), mas sobretudo pela forma como se dispõem através de sua imagética. A forte presença de tensões em todos os níveis do poema bertrandiano levou-nos ao estudo mais apurado do caráter grotesco nas suas imagens poéticas. Considerando os diversos estudos teóricos acerca do grotesco, buscamos destacar a sua significação tanto no Romantismo quanto na Idade Média (antes mesmo da existência do termo), visando sua confluência no Gaspard, de forma a compreender como as dissonâncias do grotesco permitem ao poeta o restabelecimento de uma realidade plena / Gaspard de la Nuit, posthumous work of Aloysius Bertrand, was for a long time unknown to the public before the studies around his poetic form restituted its adequate importance. However, only today emerged analyzes that talk specifically about its theme, not less complex than the prose poem's intricacies. Bertrand's medievalism shows up much richer than the form that come into vogue in the 1830s in France, not only by the richness of detail (far from a simple form of picturesque), but especially by the way they feature through his imagery. The strong presence of tensions at all levels of Bertrand's poem took us to an accurate study of the grotesque character of his poetic images. Considering the many theoretical studies about the grotesque, we seek to highlight its significance both in Romanticism as in the Middle Ages (when the term do not exist), to its confluence in Gaspard, in order to understand how the grotesque's dissonance allow the poet the reestablishment of a plenary reality

Il nostro lavoro nasce dall’esigenza di voler delineare i confini tra metafora e similitudine al fine di distinguere il campo d’indagine di ognuna delle due figure. Il rapporto analogico che le caratterizza ha provocato nel tempo un’associazione costante tra i due procedimenti retorici che tendono, pertanto, ad essere sovrapposti. La nostra tesi si propone di dimostrare che seppur si tratti di due figure affini, similitudine e metafora si realizzano attraverso processi stilistici diversi. Questo studio presenta due grandi parti: una prima parte teorica e una seconda parte applicativa. La prima consta di tre capitoli: nel primo abbiamo esaminato le diverse definizioni che, nel corso degli anni, sono state assegnate alla similitudine e alla metafora; nel secondo, abbiamo presentato le teorie che, nel differenziare le due figure, hanno confuso, a nostro avviso, i loro campi d’indagine; nel terzo capitolo abbiamo analizzato e descritto il procedimento comparativo. Nella seconda parte, abbiamo applicato alla raccolta poetica Gaspard de la Nuit di Aloysius Bertrand, le analisi teoriche presentate nella prima parte del nostro lavoro. Per ogni testo poetico è stato affrontato uno studio di tipo linguistico e retorico: abbiamo analizzato le varie tipologie di similitudini e di metafora presenti in ciascun componimento. / The purpose of this work has its origins in the necessity of defining the boundary between metaphor and simile in order to demarcate the analytical fields corresponding to the two figures. The analogical relationship that characterizes them has provoked over the course of time a constant association between the two rhetorical procedures which have thus tended to become overlapped. This thesis intends to demonstrate that even though treating of related figures, simile and metaphor are produced by means of different stylistic procedures. This study is divided into two main parts: the first theoretical and the second of practical application. The first part consists of three chapters: in the first are examined the diverse definitions that have been assigned over the course of time to simile and to metaphor; the second presents theories which, in differentiating the two figures, have only served to confuse the fields of inquiry; in the third chapter the comparative method is analyzed and described. In the second part of the thesis the theoretical analyses presented in the first part of the work are applied to Gaspard de la Nuit, a collection of poetry by Aloysius Bertrand. Each text is subjected to a linguistic and a rhetorical analysis, thus analyzing the various typologies of similes and metaphors present in each of the compositions.

[ES] En esta tesis, tomando como medio la obra para piano solo Gaspard de la nuit de Maurice Ravel, se elabora una investigación de metodología autoetnográfica a modo de ejercicio de concienciación del aprendizaje de la obra. El objetivo es tener un conocimiento más profundo de los estímulos musicales durante el estudio de Gaspard de la nuit. Para cumplir con dicho objetivo, en primer lugar, se presentan informaciones sobre Ravel, su vida y su producción musical hasta el año de composición de la obra en cuestión, documentación concreta sobre Gaspard de la nuit, su interpretación y el análisis de las tres obras. En segundo lugar, se efectúa un cuaderno de campo compuesto por las clases magistrales sobre la obra recibidas por grandes profesores a nivel nacional e internacional y por apuntes propios de las sesiones de estudio. Las enseñanzas expuestas en ambos documentos se analizan, se relacionan, se comparan, se establece una evolución o analogía de la terminología empleada, y, en caso necesario, se explica su significado y si ha tenido especial influencia o no en la práctica pianística. Posteriormente se acude a la estadística para obtener datos cuantitativos de la recurrencia de unas temáticas musicales sobre otras para concluir entre otras deducciones que se hace escasa referencia a la memorización, la diferencia entre el peso que se le da a ciertas temáticas dependiendo del estadio de aprendizaje de Gaspard de la nuit y la dinámica concreta de estudio empleada mientras se trabaja la obra objeto de estudio. / [CA] En aquesta tesi, prenent com a mitjà l'obra per a piano sol Gaspard de la nuit de Maurice Ravel, s'elabora una recerca de metodologia autoetnogràfica a manera d'exercici de conscienciació de l'aprenentatge de l'obra. L'objectiu és tenir un coneixement més profund dels estímuls musicals durant l'estudi de Gaspard de la nuit. Per a complir amb aquest objectiu, en primer lloc es presenten informacions sobre Ravel, la seva vida i la seva producció musical fins a l'any de composició de l'obra en qüestió, documentació concreta sobre Gaspard de la nuit, la seva interpretació i l'anàlisi de les tres obres. En segon lloc, s'efectua un quadern de camp compost per les classes magistrals sobre l'obra rebudes per grans professors a nivell nacional i internacional i per anotacions pròpies de les sessions d'estudi. Els ensenyaments exposats en tots dos documents s'analitzen, es relacionen, es comparen, s'estableix una evolució o analogia de la terminologia emprada, i, en cas necessari, s'explica el seu significat i si ha tingut especial influència o no en la pràctica pianística. Posteriorment s'acudeix a l'estadística per a obtenir dades quantitatives de la recurrència d'unes temàtiques musicals sobre altres per a concloure entre altres deduccions que es fa escassa referència a la memorització, la diferència entre el pes que se li dona a unes certes temàtiques depenent de l'estadi d'aprenentatge de Gaspard de la nuit i la dinàmica concreta d'estudi emprada mentre es treballa l'obra objecte d'estudi. / [EN] In this thesis, taking Maurice Ravel's solo piano work Gaspard de la nuit as a medium, an autoethnographic methodology research is elaborated as an exercise of awareness of the learning of the work. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of the musical stimuli during the study of Gaspard de la nuit. To achieve this goal, first of all, information about Ravel, his life and his musical production up to the year of composition of the work in question, specific documentation on Gaspard de la nuit, its interpretation and the analysis of the three works are presented. Secondly, a field notebook is made up of the master classes on the work given by great national and international professors, as well as notes taken during the study sessions. The teachings presented in both documents are analysed, related, compared, an evolution or analogy of the terminology used is established, and, if necessary, their meaning and whether they have had a special influence on piano practice is explained. Subsequently, statistics are used to obtain quantitative data on the recurrence of certain musical themes over others in order to conclude, among other deductions, that little reference is made to memorization, the difference between the weight given to certain themes depending on Gaspard de la nuit's stage of learning and the specific dynamics of study employed while working on the work under study. / García Verdú, FJ.
