| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 音樂學系碩士班 === 96 === The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and discuss the interpretation of “Iberia” Book II by Isaac Albéniz. Albéniz is one of the most important musicians in Spanish modern times. He received inspiration from music works by Felipe Pedrell who is the father of Spanish Nationalism. Albéniz exquisitely used many unique compositional techniques in his piano works, such as the characteristic and the style of Spanish folk music, the diverse dance rhythms, also in the manner which built special acoustic effects and the articulation of the guitar and percussion instruments. Such writing techniques exert the greatest influence to the contemporary Spanish composers. Many important composers during this period were also great piano performers, together; they formed the revival movement of Spanish keyboard music. Musicologist, Powell Linton, thought this period is “the golden age of Spanish piano music”. Besides Spanish music elements, Isaac Albéniz also received different music baptism during his travel and visit in various countries. In all of his piano works, “Iberia” presented individual rich and multiple music articulation, and particularly integrated a variety of compositional concepts and techniques into his later piano works.
“Iberia”, composed from 1905 to 1908, is a huge piano work. This piano work includes twelve independent pieces, divided into four volumes to publish. This thesis gives some ideas on performance practice, interpretation, and analysis of the second volume of “Iberia” including three piano pieces: ‘Rondeña’, ‘Almería’, and ‘Triana’. Also, it discusses the rondeña, taranta, pasodoble, as well as Spanish ancient traditional ballad, the cante jondo’s meaning and its adoption.
