Harmonic Technique Research Department Of Piano Works By Wang Li Thirty-five

Composers of China has began professional composition of several-departmentmusic in the early1920s. With the development of Chinese composition ofseveral-department music, both composer and theorists mainly focused on how tosolve the problem of national style of harmony that the harmony techniques should bein harmony with the pentatonic melody. Wang Lisan is a important Chinesecontemporary composer and music educator and music theorist who devoted his lifeto the composition of piano music works. The composition of the composer wentalong with the basic course of the development of Chinese piano music since1950sand made the positive exploration of harmony style nationalization in the process ofcomposition of Chinese piano music. Wang Lisan began to explore Pentatonic ModeHarmony initially by combining the pentatonic melody with classical harmony. Later,he made the pentatonic melody into twelve-tone music to show national style. Thecomposer has made important contributions to exploration and development ofPentatonic Mode Harmony. Therefore, it is highly value of academic and practicalthat we research Wang Lisan’s harmony technique of piano works in the aspect ofhow to use traditional or modern composition techniques to adapt to Chinesepentatonic melody.In this paper, Five representative piano works of different periods of Wang Lisan’s Musical composition is the main study object that include Lan Hua Hua，theBeautiful Girl；Sonatina; Brother and Sister Reclaiming the Wasteland; Flavor ofPoems by Li He：a Dream in the Heaven and Qin Emperor Drinking; Younger BrotherDrawings. Researching Wang Lisan’s features of harmonic technique of five pianoworks is based on comprehensive analysis of the five piano works relatively mainlyfrom the aspects of the mode and tonality, the chord structure, the harmonicprogression. And then summarizing the Wang Lisan’s personalized harmony ideasand influence of harmony innovation in order to provide the research results of theharmony techniques and theory for further researching of Wang Lisan’s other pianoworks.The thesis is composed of four parts:The first chapter: The life of Wang Lisan and the main characteristics of the piano music composition. This chapter firstly introduces the life of Wang Lisan toprovide the necessary background information for paper analysis and then maincharacteristics of the Wang Lisan’s piano music composition to grasp of thecomposer’s composition course and the features of main composition integrally.The second chapter: The overview analysis of five piano works. With threeaspects of composition background, form, rhythm and time signature of five pianoworks as the breakthrough point,this chapter researches the music characteristics offive piano works on the whole.The third chapter: Harmony technique analysis of five piano works. As the bodyof the thesis, this chapter researches harmonic technique characteristics of five pianoworks of Wang Lisan detailedly from modes and tonalitis (including five aspects ofmode category, polytonality, modulation technique, tonality layouts, Pentatonic Modeand its application in twelve-tone sequence), chord structures (including six aspects ofthird structure, fourth structure and fifth structure,second structure, altered chord,pentatonic vertical structure and pentatonic chords in twelve-tone music) andharmonic progressions (including four aspects of linearization progressions, modeprogressions， functional progressions and control of harmony tension flow intwelve-tone music) three aspects respectively.The fourth chapter: harmony thinking and Harmony innovation of five pianoworks. This chapter further researches personalized harmony thinking of thecomposer in harmony techniques (including three aspects of the stereoscopic thinkingof tonality, visual thinking of chord and linear parts thinking), and summarizes theharmony innovation of composers (from two aspects of the method of traditional anduntraditional functional harmony) on the basis of harmonic technique researches ofthe third chapter.Epilogue: Based on a detailed study of the above four chapters, Epiloguesummarizes the main characteristic of Pentatonic Mode Harmony techniques ofcomposer Wang Lisan overall, and generalizes the positive impact of PentatonicMode Harmony techniques of Wang Lisan for today’s research of Pentatonic ModeHarmony theory and composition of Chinese piano music works.
