Ce travail propose une théorie générale de l'interface entre deux dimensions du fait musical : sa dimension sémantique (les significations que la musique peut contenir) et sa dimension pragmatique (ses usages en contexte). Cette théorie se situe dans une perspective naturaliste, au carrefour de trois disciplines : la philosophie de l'esprit, la psychologie cognitive et la musicologie historique. Elle part du postulat que la sémantique et la pragmatique de la musique sont des cas particuliers de certaines normes universelles (par exemple la norme de vérité) et certaines dispositions cognitives et sociales de l'être humain, pour l'essentiel non spécifiques à ce qu'on appelle la musique, l'art et l'esthétique. La première partie trace les grandes lignes de la théorie. Elle se fonde sur les travaux du linguiste et philosophe Philippe Schlenker. On y défend deux thèses principales : une thèse sémantique et une thèse pragmatique. La thèse sémantique soutient que toute signification musicale est indexicale, c'est-à-dire que toute signification musicale consiste dans le fait d'attribuer à une unité formellement cohérente de sons musicaux un ensemble de causes probables. Ces causes probables des sons musicaux peuvent être des entités réelles et/ou fictives, des entités objectives et/ou subjectives, des entités productrices de son ou non. Dans tous les cas, ces entités sont situées dans le contexte d'écoute de la musique, et la musique les « indique » à l'auditeur (d'où le terme « indexical »). Ces entités sont alors tenues pour être les contenus indexicaux vrais ou faux de la musique. La thèse pragmatique soutient que toute communication en musique consiste à organiser intentionnellement (y compris à distance, via des dispositifs de médiation adéquats, tels que des programmes, des techniques et lieux d'écoute, des rituels et autres conventions) la relation entre la musique composée/interprétée d'une part, et le contexte effectif ou supposé où cette musique sera perçue d'autre part, de sorte à maximiser la pertinence des significations indexicales, vraies ou fausses, inférées de l'écoute musicale dans ce contexte. La seconde partie du travail approfondit ces thèses en étudiant en détail trois phénomènes sémantico-pragmatiques suffisamment riches et complexes : la fiction, la narration et l'évocation. Cette seconde partie est bâtie sur l'analyse de trois poèmes symphoniques de Franz Liszt (Hamlet, Tasso et Mazeppa). Elle est ancrée dans le contexte de la querelle entre la musique à programme et la musique pure, qui a agité les milieux musicaux au XIXe siècle autour des mêmes problématiques que celles de ce travail. / This PhD aims to build a general theory of the interface between two dimensions of music : its semantic dimension (i.e. the meaningful nature of music) and its pragmatic dimension (i.e. the uses of music in context). The theory is grounded in a naturalistic perspective, at the intersection of three disciplines :philosophy of mind, cognitive psychology and historical musicology. The basic premise is that semantics and pragmatics of music are just particular cases of certain universal norms (i.e. the norm of truth) and certain social-cognitive dispositions of the human being, essentially non specific to what is usually called music, art or æsthetics. The first part outlines the main aspects of the theory, building on the work of linguist and philosopher Philippe Schlenker. We defend two claims :a semantic one and a pragmatic one. The semantic claim is that every musical meaning is indexical. In other words, a musical meaning is the set of possible causes attributed to a formally coherent unit of musical sounds, be they real and/or fictional causes, objective and/or subjective causes, sound producing or not sound producing causes. In any case, these possible causes are entities that are located within the listening context and are “indicated” by the music to the listener (hence the use of the word “indexical”). The entities that have possibly caused the musical sounds are, then, considered to be the true or false indexical content of the music. The pragmatic claim is that communication in music consists in organizing intentionally (including indirectly, at a distance, by means of relevant devices, such as programs, listening technologies, performance places, rites and other conventions, etc.) the relation between the composed and/or performed music and the supposed or effective context where the music would be listened, in order to enhance as much as possible the relevance of the true or false indexical meanings, inferred from the musical listening in this context. In the second part, the two hypotheses are further investigated by focusing on more complex semantico-pragmatic issues. We propose an in-depth analysis of three phenomena : fiction, narration and evocation. This three-part study is based on a detailed analysis of three symphonic poems by Franz Liszt (Hamlet, Tasso and Mazeppa). It is also grounded in the context of a central episode of 19th Century musical life :the quarrel between program music and pure music about the same semantic and pragmatic issues. / Doctorat en Langues, lettres et traductologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

[ES] El planteamiento inicial de esta investigación surgió buscando una justificación lógica que ayudara en la interpretación de la música que los compositores tratan de plasmar por escrito en la partitura, a través de indicaciones en ocasiones poco concretas, con la finalidad de explicar al oyente la trama argumental y la expresividad inherente de la pieza. Con este estudio se pretende descubrir los patrones de trabajo utilizados por Franz Liszt en el diseño de estructuras pequeñas o microformas musicales, para así poder establecer el nexo entre éstas y lo que quiere evocar o describir con ellas. Para ello surge la propuesta de catalogar los recursos descriptivos y procedimientos compositivos y pianísticos usados por el pianista y compositor húngaro. El buscar e interrelacionar la idea programática de sus obras con el pensamiento descriptivo musical que las inspiró, analizar los recursos compositivos que utilizó para profundizar en la razón expresiva que motivó la importante transformación y renovación de las formas clásicas que efectuó y por último, estudiar el proceso de elaboración individual de la estructura formal de cada obra, así como buscar los paralelismos o semejanzas con las ideas descriptivas y las figuraciones o recursos musicales empleados por Franz Liszt. / [CA] El plantejament inicial d'aquesta investigació va sorgir buscant una justificació lògica que ajudara en la interpretació de la música que els compositors intenten plasmar per escrit a la partitura, a través d'indicacions de vegades poc concretes, amb la finalitat d'explicar a l'oient la trama argumental i la expressivitat inherent de la peça.

The aim of this study is to discover the work patterns used by Franz Liszt in the design of small structures or musical microforms, to establish the link between them and what he wants to evoke or describe with them. For this, the proposal arises to catalog the descriptive resources and compositional and pianistic procedures used by the Hungarian pianist and composer. The search for and interrelate the programmatic idea of his works with the musical descriptive thought that inspired them, analyze the compositional resources that he used to delve into the expressive reason that motivated the important transformation and renewal of the classical forms that he carried out and finally, study the process of individual elaboration of the formal structure of each work, as well as looking for the parallels or similarities with the descriptive ideas and the figurations or musical resources used by Franz Liszt. / Esplugues Esplugues, FJ.

I detta arbete analyseras det omfattande pianoverket ”Dantesonaten” komponerat av Franz Liszt i syfte om att ta reda på vilka musikaliska och tekniska element han utnyttjat för att uttrycka djävulen, helvetet och andra diaboliska företeelser i sin musik. Därmed kommer en djupgående analys av eposet Den gudomliga komedin skrivet av Dante Alighieri genomförasdå Liszt baserat sin komposition på detta verk. Liszts intresse för Den gudomliga komedin och Dante som poet belyses samt varför han valt att basera sin sonat på detta ämne. Resultatet tyder på att Liszt använt dissonanta intervall som tritonus, dimackord, heltonsskalor, kromatik och tremoloteknik m.m. för att allt i kombination bilda en tydlig representation av det som kan kopplas med det diaboliska. Största delen av resultatet består av egna tolkningar men även andras interpretationer hämtade från olika litterära källor och online-resurser. Det var svårt att finna konkreta tecken på vad kompositörens egna återspeglingar i musiken må ha varit. Däremot kan detta arbete ändå vara en bra utgångspunkt för en pianist som planerar att spela verket och vill få idéer om hur det diaboliska materialet och andra teman ur ”Dantesonaten” kan tolkas. / In this study, the extensive piano piece "The Dante Sonata" composed by Franz Liszt is analyzed in order to find out what musical and technical elements he has used to express the devil, hell and other diabolical phenomena in his music. Thus, an in-depth analysis of the narrative poem The Divine Comedy written by Dante Alighieri will be made, as Liszt bases his composition on this work. The study investigates Liszt's interest in The Divine Comedyand Dante as a poet and why he chose to base his sonata on this subject. The results indicate that Liszt used dissonant intervals such as tritones, diminished chords, whole-tone scales, chromatic passages and tremolo technique, etc. to all in combination form a clear representation of the diabolical. Most of the results consist of own interpretations but also other renderings taken from various literary sources and online-resources. It was difficult to find concrete signs of what the composer's own reflections in the music may have been. However, this work can still be a good starting point for a pianist who plans to study thismusic and want to get ideas on how the diabolical material and other themes from "The Dante Sonata" can be interpreted. / <p>F.

鋼琴，樂器之王；李斯特，鋼琴之王。他以目眩神迷的鋼琴技巧、誇張的表現力、優美的歌唱旋律征服所有人。詩人杜甫曾說過：「讀書破萬卷，下筆如有神。」。筆者認為李斯特則是「彈琴破萬次，音樂如有神。」。在鋼琴之王李斯特七十五年的生涯中，所創作的音樂作品包羅萬象。這些形形色色的鋼琴作品中，大致上可分為原創性作品及改編作品，本篇論文探討的作品屬於原創性作品。李斯特一生中創作兩首敘事曲，第一號敘事曲創作於1848年，完成於1849年； b小調第二號敘事曲，創作於1853年也完成於同一年。鋼琴家阿勞（Claudio Arrau, 1903-1991）曾經在霍洛維茲（Vladimir Horowitz, 1903-1989）所著的《與鋼琴家阿勞的對話》（Conversations with Arrau）中表示李斯特《第二號敘事曲》是遵照「席洛與黎安德」（Hero and Leander）的愛情故事來描寫的。李斯特在《第二號敘事曲》中賦予這個故事新的生命，運用主題變形的手法描繪黎安德以及席落在故事裡的性格以及種種感受。由於筆者受到此神話故事的感動，因此想要以音樂的角度來體會其故事中角色的變化與情境。 / Piano is the king of musical instruments; Liszt, the king of the piano. His brilliant techniques on piano, exaggerated expressions in music and beautiful melody have conquered all the people. A great Chinese poet Du Fu once said, “Read wild, and you will wisely write.” The author sincerely believes that Liszt’s works have the same vein“Practice wild and you will wisely play.” In his 75 years’ career, he has composed all sorts of piano works. In these works, they in general can be classified into two types: originals and transcriptions. The paper investigated the original one. Liszt composed two ballades during his life: Ballade No.1 was composed in 1848 and completed in 1849 while Ballade No.2 in b minor was composed and accomplished in 1853. Pianist Claude Arrau, in the book “Conversation with Arrau” written by Valdimir Horowitz（1903-1989）, once claimed “Liszt’s Ballade No.2 was based on a Greek mythology also known as a love story– Hero and Leander. Touched by the mythology, the author would like to experience the scenarios of those characters in the mythology in the context of music. / 中文摘要…………………………………………………………………………………………………………I Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………………………II 目錄………………………………………………………………………………………………………………III 表目錄……………………………………………………………………………………………………………VI 圖目錄………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Ⅴ 譜例目錄…………………………………………………………………………………………………………Ⅵ 第一章緒論………………………………………………………………………………………………………1 第一節研究動機與目的…………………………………………………………………………………1 第二節研究範圍與方法…………………………………………………………………………………3 第二章李斯特的時代………………………………………………………………………………………4 第一節浪漫主義興起與時代背景…………………………………………………………………4 第二節李斯特生平與鋼琴作品分期………………………………………………………………7 第三節李斯特的炫技與對鋼琴技巧貢獻……………………………………………………20 第三章李斯特《b小調第二號敘事曲》創作背景探討……………………………35 第一節敘事曲歷史發展簡述…………………………………………………………………………35 第二節創作背景及神話故事…………………………………………………………………………39 第四章李斯特《b小調第二號敘事曲》樂曲分析與演奏詮釋………………43 第一節呈示部……………………………………………………………………………………………………46 第二節發展部……………………………………………………………………………………………………52 第三節再現部……………………………………………………………………………………………………69 第五章結論…………………………………………………………………………………………………………80 參考書目……………………………………………………………………………………………………………89

This study investigates the importance of Hummel as a transitional composer, pedagogue and pianist between the Classical and Romantic periods, his contribution to the development of piano technique, and his influence as a pedagogue on later generations. The bases of this study were his treatise A complete theoretical and practical course on the art of piano playing (Ausführliche theoretisch-practische Anweisung zum Pianoforte-Spiele) of 1828, his Préludes op. 67 of 1814/1815 and his 24 Grandes Études op. 125 of 1833. Hummel’s treatise is an important musicological document detailing keyboard performance practices of the 18th and early 19th century. He lived at a time when the present day piano was still evolving. The new instruments with their resulting new possibilities found expression in his 24 Grandes Études op. 125. Important sources consulted were the following:  The piano concertos of Johann Nepomuk Hummel by F.H. Mitchell (1957)  The music of J.N. Hummel: its derivations and development by R. Davis (1965)  Romantic Music: A history of musical style in the 19th century by L. Plantinga (1984)  The Kristeva Reader edited by Toril Moi (1986)  How did they play? How did they teach? by S. Soderlund (2006); and  Johann Nepomuk Hummel: a musician’s life and world by Mark Kroll (2007). Although Hummel was deeply rooted in the Classical style, his compositions displaying the hallmarks of the style galant, can be divided into two style periods. The first style period ending about 1811 shows harmonic simplicity, regularity of phrasing and elegant cantabile melody. His second period post-1811 saw the composition of works with bolder, more dissonant harmony resulting in greater chromaticism. After 1814 his piano compositions demand greater variety of tone colour, more expressive use of dynamics, rubato, and advanced technical facility of the performer. According to Mitchell (1957: 75, 76) Hummel’s art and ornamentation are related to the virtuoso technique expanded by the Viennese pianistic style of the early 19th century. Hummel developed the ornamental style further, culminating ultimately in the poetry of the tone-coloured fioritura of Chopin. One aim of the study was to reveal the individual contributions Hummel made to the changes taking place between the Classical and Romantic styles. Innovative aspects include new virtuoso technical demands that would find fruition in the études of Chopin an Liszt. His influence on Chopin was undeniable as one perceives the early distinguishing characteristics of Chopin’s style in many of the compositions of Hummel. Schumann and Liszt were familiar with the music of Hummel in their formative years and there is much evidence of Hummel’s style in their compositions. In Chapter 4 on intertextuality, Hummel’s influence on Chopin, Schumann and Liszt is examined, and in Chapter 5 his pedagogical principles as set out in his treatise are appraised. Chapter 6 is an investigation into the technical principles embodied in Hummel’s 24 Grandes Études op. 125 and their influence on the development of the Concert Étude. / Thesis (DMus)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2014 / Music / unrestricted

Ce mémoire porte sur la Symphonie en ré de César Franck, une œuvre écrite entre 1887 et 1888 et créée en 1889. Plus précisément, nous nous intéressons à l’organisation du matériau unificateur de cette œuvre tout en observant les problèmes que pose l’approche cyclique développée par Vincent d’Indy. Nous faisons ainsi valoir les apports et avantages à adopter plutôt la transformation thématique, une méthodologie fortement associée à l’œuvre de Franz Liszt. Théorisée en 1909 au sein du Cours de composition musicale, la forme cyclique exerce une emprise dominante dans la littérature musicologique s’intéressant à l’analyse de l’œuvre de César Franck. Nous mettons en lumière des biais idéologiques et nationalistes du discours de Vincent d’Indy visant à promouvoir la supériorité légitime des compositeurs français sur les Allemands en développant une conception de l’excellence fondée sur des métaphores chrétiennes (la trinité, la cathédrale gothique). Cette argumentation a pour effet néfaste de gommer des données historiographiques importantes telles que les échanges culturels s’établissant de part et d’autre du Rhin ou encore les contacts significatifs qu’ont entretenus César Franck et Franz Liszt. Cette recherche permet ainsi de nuancer la théorie de d’Indy et d’enrichir la perspective analytique de la Symphonie de César Franck en la remettant dans son contexte sociohistorique. L’étude de la transformation thématique a l’avantage de prendre en compte la dimension expressive des thèmes de la Symphonie en plus de la notion d’unité inhérente à l’œuvre et aide à approfondir les affinités musicales qui rapprochent Franck et Liszt. / This thesis focuses on César Franck's Symphony in D, a work written between 1887 and 1888, and premiered in 1889. More precisely, we are interested in the organization of the unifying material of this work while observing the problems posed by the cyclical approach developed by Vincent d'Indy. We thus highlight the contributions and advantages of adopting thematic transformation instead, a methodology strongly associated with the work of Franz Liszt. Theorized in 1909 as part of the “Cours de composition musicale”, the cyclical form exerts a hegemonic hold in the musicological literature interested in the analysis of the work of César Franck. We highlight the ideological and nationalist biases of Vincent d’Indy’s speech, aimed at promoting the legitimate superiority of French composers over the Germans by developing a conception of excellence based on Christian metaphors (the Trinity, the Gothic cathedral). This argument has the detrimental effect of erasing important historiographical data such as the cultural crosscurrent taking place on both sides of the Rhine or the significant contacts that César Franck and Franz Liszt maintained. This research thus makes it possible to qualify d’Indy’s theory and enrich the analytical perspective of César Franck’s Symphony by placing it in its socio-historical contexts. The study of the thematic transformation has the advantage to consider the expressive dimension of the themes of the Symphony while focusing on the unity of the piece, and helps deepen the musical affinities that bring Franck and Liszt close together.

In addition to his renowned musical output, Richard Wagner produced a logorrhoeic prose oeuvre, including a dramatic sketch of the last weeks of the life of Jesus Christ entitled Jesus von Nazareth. Though drafted in 1848-1849, it was published only posthumously, and has therefore been somewhat neglected in the otherwise voluminous Wagnerian literature. This thesis first examines the origins of Jesus von Nazareth amidst the climate of revolution wherein it was conceived, ascertaining its place within Wagner’s own internal development and amongst the radical thinkers who influenced it. While Ludwig Feuerbach has traditionally been seen as the most prominent of these, this thesis examines Wagner’s sources more broadly. The thesis then summarizes and analyzes Jesus von Nazareth itself, particularly in terms of Wagner’s use of biblical scripture. The thesis demonstrates how his not infrequent misuse thereof constitutes one way in which Wagner transmogrifies Jesus as mutable lens through which his own ideology of social revolution is reflected. It also attempts to provide a critical assessment of the relative dramatic merits of Jesus von Nazareth and looks into Wagner’s ultimate decision not to complete the work. The thesis then briefly summarizes the changes that occurred in Wagner’s mature Christological outlook subsequent to his drafting of Jesus von Nazareth, attempting to concisely demonstrate some developments beyond Wagner’s well-known encounter with the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer. The thesis concludes with an evaluation of how Jesus von Nazareth informed Wagner’s general religious outlook and the extent to which this worldview is a productive one.

The first three recitals included one recital of chamber music and two recitals of solo piano music. The first recital consisted of music for clarinet and piano, performed with Dr. Lee Gibson of the music faculty of North Texas State University. This program included the Mozart Clarinet Concerto, Five Atonal Pieces by William Latham, Sonata in F minor by Johannes Brahms, and Four Pieces for clarinet and piano by Alban Berg. The second recital contained the D minor Concerto of Marcello, transcribed by J. S. Sach, Sonata No. 1 by Karl Haria von Weber, Sposalizio by Franz Liszt, Sonata in F by Nels Harveland, and Three Fantasies from Opus 116 by Johannes Brahms. The third recital consisted of the F minor Fantasy by Mozart, Variations on a Theme of Rameau by Paul Dukas, Sechs Kleine Klavierstucke by Arnold Schoenberg and Four Preludes by Sergei Rachraaninov. The fourth recital featured a comparison of selected Liszt and Schumann piano transcriptions of Paganini Viol in Caprices. Musical examples comparing the Paganini Caprices and the transcriptions by Liszt and Schumann, in addition to examples comparing the similarities and differences between the transcriptions of Liszt and Schumann, were interspersed throughout the lecture.
