| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 音樂學系 === 97 === Revered as the most celebrated musical figure in Denmark, Carl Nielsen straddled the 19th and 20th centuries, and with consideration to the dramatically changing musical climate of that time, Nielsen’s vast output is stylistically complex. His music covers a wide range of styles, from Brahmsian Romanticism to a personal brand of neo-classicism in his late years.
This Flute Concerto is composed within Nielsen’s last style period. This work shows the maturity of the composer’s treatment toward music, in which he sought purity, transparency, and simplicity. In addition, this work also demonstrates Nielsen’s polyphonic technique and the exploratory view of tonality, and blends both classic and contemporary elements.
The purpose of this thesis is to give dependable and possible ways of interpretative suggestions in terms of classifying Nielsen’s composing styles, examining his approach towards this flute concerto, analyzing the formal structure of this work, and discussing the characters of music sections. Chapter One is the generalization of this thesis. Chapter Two gives an overview of Nielsen’s life, and introduces the development of Nielsen’s composing style. Chapter Three focuses on the background of this flute concerto and examines the classical and modern elements included in the work. Chapter Four gives suggestions for interpretation from two facets: analyzing the formal structures of the two movements of this concerto and discussing the characters of music sections. Chapter Five is the conclusion.
