尾高尚忠《長笛協奏曲作品30》樂曲分析與演奏詮釋

Abstract

尾高尚忠（Hisatada Otaka）為二十世紀三零至四零年代，日本古典音樂界之重要指揮家兼作曲家，是傳遞歐洲音樂文化回國的推手。日本重要的作曲大賽尾高賞，即是為了紀念尾高對日本樂壇之貢獻而設立；尾高留學維也納之背景，使其音樂根基穩健紥實，其創作手法以西洋作曲技法為底，融入濃厚日本元素與現代音響，看似難以捉摸卻暗藏脈絡，作品中不難感受出尾高對於樂思細膩獨到的處理手法，與對祖國的音樂文化懷抱強大熱情與盼望。 《長笛協奏曲作品30》於1948年以小協奏曲編制發表，歷經三年改編與擴充成為協奏曲版本；長笛獨奏部分由獨奏家吉田雅夫（Masao Yoshida）協助，將原曲旋律加入現代長笛演奏技巧後臻於完備；作品中大量五音音階、泛全音體系、印象樂派之和聲配置，使得音樂如風景幻化，高潮迭起。 本研究由三大方向入手，探究作曲家背景與創作之相關資料、運用和聲思維剖析樂曲架構、思考詮釋再比對名家之演奏，逐項深入理解此曲；本論文共有四個章節，第一章緒論，說明研究動機、目的、範圍及方法，第二章為作曲者相關資料，包含生平與音樂風格、創作背景、尾高對樂壇之影響力，第三章為樂曲分析與詮釋、名家錄音之版本比較，最終為結語，為筆者對此研究之反思與看法。

Hisatada Otaka (1911-1951), a significant Japanese composer and conductor for the first half of the 20th century, played an indispensable role in bringing musical knowledge from Europe to Japan during 1930-1951. A Japanese national composition competition was named the Otaka Prize to commemorate H. Otaka’s contributions to Japanese music

H. Otaka’s study in Vienna led to his music profession. His works are based on Western composition techniques and combine Japanese elements and modern acoustics. Otaka’s works seem to be elusive but reveal both his delicate and unique compositional devices as well as his passion and expectations for Japanese music culture.

“Concerto for flute and Orchestra op.30” was premiered as concertino orchestration in 1948. After H. Otaka and Masao Yoshida (1955-2013) spent three years revising, a concerto version was completed. Yoshida, a solo flutist, is responsible for the flute part. He incorporates flute virtuoso techniques. H. Otaka used pentatonic scales, pandiatonicism, and harmonics of Impressionism, thus bettering the orchestration and making this concerto with more fascinating manner.

“The Analysis and Interpretation of Concerto for Flute and Orchestra op.30” is discussed from three aspects: exploring and collecting H. Otaka’s biography and composition data; analyzing the forms and harmonic structures; and comparing different flutists’ interpretations. This thesis includes four chapters: a) introduction, b) H. Otaka’s data, c) music form analysis and interpretations as well as several recordings comparisons, and d) conclusions and implications.
