Dmitriy Dmitriyevich Shostakovich(September 25,1906-August 9,1975)was one of the most well-known composers of the Soviet Union,and it was also known worldwide in the 20 th century Is a composer and a pianist.As a well-known composer of the Soviet era,his music creation embodies the artistic principles of Soviet socialism.As a world-renowned composer,he has already exerted a huge influence in his early creations.In 1935,CBS Radio in the United States conducted a survey of audience visits.The question at the time was " Who do you think might be a composer who is still alive after 100 years? Rachmaninoff took the first place,and the order is as follows: Richard Strauss,Sibe Lius,Ravel,Prokofiev,Stravinsky,Shostakovich(he was under 30 at the time!)." [[Russian] Danilevich:(Coke Translated by Dong Jian and Dong Moli)Biography of Shostakovich [M].Beijing:Commercial Press,p.140.] Looking at Shostakovich's music creation activities,we will find that it is closely related to the composer 's own life experience.The ups and downs of the composer 's career in the Soviet Union have greatly affected his own music creation.That is why each composer's work is tagged with a different background.The evaluation of Shostakovich's own creative activities has been endless,with praise and doubt.Research on Shostakovich's music is often controversial,and the perception of composers' works is constantly changing with the development of music,which is manifested in the initial comments by some commentators that Shostakovich In the heyday of the heyday,the innovation of music works was too sharp,and later some avant-garde composers thought that Shostakovich's music creation was too ruthless.Nowadays,research on Shostakovich's music creation will inevitably involve two directions: traditional and anti-traditional.From a traditional perspective,the overall musical idea reflected in the composer's large number of works is still classical.Regarding form,no matter how the composer's tonal harmony,tune structure,or understanding of different genres change,it is more a classical creative thinking in the final analysis."In this sense,Shostakovich played the same role asBach did on Baroque in the relationship between the classical-romantic era.He was like the author of the Sublime Mass in his creation CIMC 's many lines and developments of European music in the last three hundred years,and like Bach,played a successful end when some new genres have been fully developed and new concepts of music have begun.Novsky:(translated by Zhang Hongmo,etc.)Russian composers and the 20 th century [M].Beijing: Central Conservatory of Music Press,p.249.] From an anti-traditional perspective,especially the contemporary generations of Shostakovich,the composer's music creation is regarded as a bold innovation.Even today,many of his works still bring Has a novel style.The anti-tradition in Shostakovich's music is clearly manifested in the tone of the composer's work.A novel tonal effect is formed through various technical means,which is an important part of our research on Shostakovich's music Aspect.The string quartet occupies an important position in Shostakovich's music creation,but this genre of music does not completely cover the entire creative career of the composer,because Shostakovich has already entered the creation of The string quartet music creation was only started after maturity.In 1938,he completed his first string quartet work("The First String Quartet")and in this music career later on this genre.Formal input is gradually increasing.Shostakovich's string quartet creation can be roughly divided into four stages.In the first stage,there are two works,"First String Quartet" and "Second String Quartet," as Shostakovy.The starting point of the creation of the strange string quartet.At that time,he had just completed his self-certification as a composer.At this time,the work had a more obvious classical concept,and the music style was simple and concise.In the second stage of the creation,there are three works: "The Third String Quartet","The Fourth String Quartet" and the "Fifth String Quartet".At this time,the music works more reflect the composer's The exploration of string quartet genre creation concepts,including the structure of the melody,the content of expression and so on.The third stage of the creation is three works: "Six String Quartet","Seventh String Quartet",and "Eighth String Quartet".At this stage,it is obvious that the composer has formed himself.The unique string quartet music style,and at the same time,the music has returned to the classical idea in many ways.The fourth and final stage includes the composer's lastseven string quartet works.At this time,the works have new developments in both the content of expression and musical techniques,and their content has become deeper and richer.In philosophy,it shows the thinking about human life and death.In terms of creative techniques,it is manifested in the use of some twelve-tone techniques and the innovative use of musical structure.One of the reasons why the article chose Shostakovich's "First String Quartet" as a research object is that in the context of music development in the twentieth century,Russian music occupies a pivotal position,and Shostakov As a representative composer of the twentieth century,Vicki has a very high research value in his music creation.The discovery and research of these classic works,and the reference and learning from them,can provide a certain future for the development of China's music.for your reference."The First String Quartet",as Shostakovich's first work in this genre,reflects some of the ideas and applications of the composer when he first created the string quartet.Starting with aspects such as body,harmony,polyphony,and orchestration,we strive to comprehensively analyze this work from multiple angles and sides,discover its application in traditional and modern methods,and summarize and summarize this work for our country.Contemporary music creation activities provide some inspiration and reference.
