此論文旨在探究對稱技巧在十二音創作概念與實踐之間的關係。前者抽象、後者具體。我先在第一章指出十二音系統内的對稱潛質,再在其後兩章分析對稱技巧在荀白克的《摩西與亞倫》及魏本的交響曲作品21第二樂章内的展現。荀白克“音樂意念及“發展變奏這兩個概念,在《摩西與亞倫》扮演着重要的角式,大大影響了作品内對稱的處理;而魏本對音樂的“一體性“及“可瞭解性“的堅持,亦決定了交響曲第二樂章中對稱的演譯。最後一章總括十二音作曲概念及實踐的關係,並展望日後的研究方向。 / Through an analytical study of Schoenberg’s Moses und Aron and Webern’s Symphony Op.21, second movement, my thesis aims at exploring a central issue in interpreting symmetry in twelve-tone music: the relationship between abstract conception and concrete realization. / In Chapter one, I endeavour to contextualize the uses of symmetry in twelve-tone music within contemporary theoretical perspectives. After defining my methodology, subsequent chapters are analytical examinations of two pieces. Chapter two explores how Schoenberg’s uses of symmetry in the opening of Moses und Aron might be closely associated with his conception of “idea and “developing variation. Chapter three considers the ways in which the symmetrical manifestations in Webern’s variation movement demonstrate his concern for “unity and “comprehensibility. After studying the two composers’ different symmetrical treatments Chapter 4 revisits the relationship between abstract conception and concrete realization in twelve-tone composition, and suggests implications for further research. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Liu, Man Yee. / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references. / Electronic reproduction.
