蕭斯塔可維奇《為劇場樂團而作之組曲》管樂改編版和管弦樂版配器差異處以及指揮詮釋上之比較

Abstract

蕭斯塔可維奇（Dmitri Shostakovich, 1906-1975）作品《為劇場樂團而作之組曲》（Suite for Variety Stage Orchestra）在1999 年之前常被誤植為《第二號爵士組曲》（Jazz Suite No. 2），實際上為兩首截然不同的作品。本論文在一開始先探討此段歷史之緣由。而蕭斯塔可維奇這闕組曲有別於其一貫嚴肅作品之風格，通俗易懂廣為大眾所接受，因應管弦樂版演出之不易，約翰．迪．梅耶（Johan de Meij, 1953 生）所改編的管樂版效果非常接近原始之管弦樂版本，也是目前最常被演出的管樂版本。筆者除比較兩個版本在配器上之差異性外，並逐一樂章分析及探討如何詮釋管樂版本，期能達成蕭斯塔可維奇原著管弦樂版之精神。

Before 1999, Shostakovich’s Suite for Variety Stage Orchestra was often mistaken for Jazz Suite No. 2. This paper starts with the historic background of these two works and discusses reasons of this confusion. The compositional style of Suite for Variety Stage Orchestra differs from Shostakovich’s more typical works, which are more serious in tone. This work is easier to understand and more widely accepted by the general public. Considering the difficulty for organizing a full orchestral concert for live performance, Johan de Meij (b. 1953) created an arrangement version using only wind instruments. The effect of this arrangement is rather close to its original edition, so it is presently the most performed version. In addition to comparing the difference in instrumentation, the author also discusses, movement by movement, how conductors can interpret the arrangement for wind band so that the effect and spirit of the original orchestral version can be approached.
