分析贝多芬大提琴奏鸣曲百年演奏变化，揭示速度与滑音的演变规律。
Evolving Performance Practices in Beethoven's Cello Sonatas: Tempo, Portamento, and Historical Interpretation of the First Movements
- 对比22段历史录音与贝多芬手稿标记，发现现代演奏普遍提速。
- 1970年后速度加快，有声滑音减少，但隐性滑音仍用于表达。
- 适合音乐史研究者与演奏者参考，理解风格变迁背后的技艺革新。
本文聚焦1930至2012年间贝多芬大提琴奏鸣曲第一乐章的演奏实践演变，重点分析速度与滑音（portamento）的变化。通过分析22段历史录音，并结合录音技术进步的背景，研究对比了贝多芬的节拍器标记及其同时代人如齐默尔曼和莫舍莱斯的理解，发现现代演奏存在显著偏离。研究指出，1970年后演奏速度整体上升，有声滑音使用明显减少；这一趋势与指法技术改进有关，后者减少了手部移动，提升了快速演奏的精准度。然而，研究也发现‘无声滑音’仍被保留作为表达手段，在不破坏节奏清晰度的前提下维持风格表现力。论文呼吁演奏者与学者重新审视贝多芬的速度标记，并更审慎地运用滑音处理。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This paper examines the evolving performance practices of Ludwig van Beethoven's cello sonatas, with a particular focus on tempo and portamento between 1930 and 2012. It integrates analyses of 22 historical recordings, advancements in recording technology to shed light on changes in interpretative approaches. By comparing Beethoven's metronome markings, as understood through contemporaries such as Czerny and Moscheles, with their application in modern performances, my research highlights notable deviations. These differences prove the challenges performers face in reconciling historical tempos with the demands of contemporary performance practice. My study pays special attention to the diminishing use of audible portamento in the latter half of the 20th century, contrasted with a gradual increase in tempo after 1970. This development is linked to broader cultural and pedagogical shifts, including the adoption of fingering techniques that reduce hand shifts, thereby facilitating greater technical precision at faster tempos. Nonetheless, my study identifies the persistence of 'silent portamento' as an expressive device, allowing performers to retain stylistic expression without compromising rhythmic integrity. My paper offers valuable insights for performers and scholars alike, advocating a critical reassessment of Beethoven's tempo markings and the nuanced application of portamento in modern performance practice.
