| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 音樂學系研究所 === 104 === Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) is one of the most representative Russian composers, whose early Chopin (1810-1849) influence and late spiritual inspiration from Philosophy, Religion, and Literature led him to create the unique musical language. During his life time, Scriabin contributed the twentieth century musical world with constantly experimenting on different compositional techniques, such as abandoning the traditional tonal system, and transcending Mysticism and Synesthesia into his music. Among Scriabin''s well-known piano works, the Ten Piano Sonatas contain completely the stylistic evolution in his entire compositional life. The turning-point work Piano Sonata No.5, Op.53 of Scriabin, including the use of one-movement formal structure, tonal-center concept, and the mystic chord, clearly shows his decisive mind of departure from traditional past.
There are four main chapters besides the preface and conclusion in this research. The first chapter introduces Scriabin''s life and musical training background; the second chapter provides the characteristic overview of Scriabin''s three compositional periods, based on the theoretical view from Boris de Schloezer(1881-1961); the third chapter is a survey of Scriabin’s ten piano sonatas’ compositional features, including the unique employment of harmonic language, and melodic materials in each sonata. The final chapter focuses on the formal analysis of Scriabin’s Piano Sonata No.5, Op.53. By investigating the historical background and the features of motivic materials and formal structures, hopefully we may get closer to the inside world of mystic Scriabin.
