音乐分析学是把音乐结构变成相对简单的组成因素,对这些因素功能的研究是在其结构范围中进行。在这个过程中这种“结构”可能是作品的一部分,也可能是作品的整体,或一组作品;可能是书写形式的也可能是口头流传的作品。 音乐分析这一术语更一般性的解释应是:它是音乐研究活动的一部分,把音乐作为其出发点,而不是作为外在因素。 Music analysis is the music structure into relatively simple components, the study of the function of these factors is carried out in the framework of its structure. In the process, this “structure” may be part of the work, it may be the work as a whole, or a group of works; may be written or may be oral works. The more general explanation for the term music analysis should be that it is part of a musical research activity that uses music as its starting point, not as an external factor.
