Homesickness, which is studied and analyzed in this paper, is the 57th work written by Greg in 189 1. There are six works in the complete works, and homesickness is the last one.

First, the musical form analysis

Music is a complex trilogy reproduced in E minor, which consists of 80 bars.

(1) Header (paragraphs 65,438+0-28)

The whole structure is a single trilogy that can be copied, and the middle part is unfolded. A paragraph (1-8) is a 4+4 square structure paragraph, which consists of two parallel double sentences and is the theme melody of the whole music. Music section B (9- 18) is a non-integer music section developed on the basis of music section A, which is developed from the three-dimensional downward mode of the theme, combined with the octave imitation in the bass, and the two are interlocking.

It appropriately shows the lingering and endless homesickness. Paragraph A (19-28) repeatedly played the contents of paragraph A, once again expressing the inner feelings under the emotional bedding of connection. At the end, a formal supplementary termination (28 sections) is added, which makes the whole first section have a clear sense of termination.

(2) an intermediate part (29-52) and a reproduction part (53-80)

The central part is represented by new models and new materials, depicting a lovely hometown. The mood turned to be relaxed and happy, which made the author see and feel the other side of his hometown, in sharp contrast with the first one. Section C (29-36) is a 4+4 square section, which is represented by brand-new materials. The phrase C (29-32) ends with a general function in E major, which is an open termination.

The phrase "c1"(33-36) ends with the main function in e major, which is a convergence termination. D paragraph (37-44) is a non-square paragraph based on C paragraph, which imitates two two-bar phrases and progresses, making the mood of the phrase high. C 1 paragraph (45-52) reproduces the main theme of paragraph C.

However, decorative sounds are added to the original melody line, which makes the phrase more playful and vivid. Finally, the reappearance (53-80) is a complete repetition of the first part, but the emotional expression is more sad and melancholy, and the atmosphere is more melancholy.

Third, the analysis of musical performance skills.

model

In this work, Grieg used E minor and E major to highlight the rich musical color, which made people feel homesick in different atmospheres. Began to tell stories with the unique musical color of minor. The ending sound of each clause has a sense of breathing, and there should be a sense of graceful lines when connecting with the next sentence.

In the middle, the relationship with the tonic in e minor is regarded as the major in e major, which changes the original low atmosphere of music and makes it rich and colorful. In the reproduction part of the music, the mode returns to E minor. Although the melody of the music is a complete reproduction of the first part, the mood at this moment should reach the climax of emotional expression and render a stronger homesickness.

(2) Harmony

In harmony, Grieg is good at using the lyricism of harmony to set off the atmosphere. At the beginning of paragraph A (1-8), it is played with the duration of the main chord "E" and the four chords of the chord arpeggio. After 29 bars in the middle, the three voices are soft and harmonious, highlighting the melody rhythm of the right hand, not too strong for the left hand. From the 37th bar, the harmony gradually advances with the melody until it reaches the joint.

(3) Pedal

Both the beginning and the end appear at the end of the film, which makes the emotional expression more exciting. A 1 From 26 to 27 and then to 28, the mood is firm, the pedal and the marked chord are stepped at the same time, and the melody gradually slows down until the last chord and interval, and the mood gradually calms down.

Fourth, the style of music.

The author uses the unique way of Norwegian folk music-mode alternation to show the contrast between gentleness and rudeness. In this work, the author makes people feel his expression of homesickness by comparing sadness and depression with lightness and joy. In genre and creation, Grieg's music mostly has Norwegian romantic feelings and artistic characteristics of folk music.

His works absorbed the performance characteristics of European, German-Austrian romanticism and Norwegian characteristic musical instruments, the rhythm of national dance and the melody of folk music, and then made innovations, and finally presented works with unique Norwegian national characteristics and local flavor, making them a national music treasure shared by the whole world.
