A Tentative Analysis On Musical Declarative Structures In Chopin's Scherzos

This paper is a fundamental research into Chopin's four piano scherzos. From the perspectives of musical manifestation means and melody structures, the author makes a tentative analytic study into declarative structures in musical language, which are seldom explored in the analysis of musical works at present time. At the same time, the author makes an attempt to generalize the characteristics that Chopin shows out in his application of declarative structures in his four piano scherzos, by which the author reveals how declarative structures help to make the four scherzos contain so rich and profound contents.Directed by Yang Ruhuai's theories, the author makes a rational technique analysis on the declarative structures used in these four works, expecting the research will do good to deeper understanding and better grasp of the development of music language as well as help people to get a clearer idea of Chopin's creative techniques and creative intentions in his scherzos. Meanwhile, the author tries her best to combine rational knowledge with perceptual experience together in the hope that this research will play a supplementary role to music performance and music teaching practice.
