  • 描述: While commentators have shown particular interest in Prokofiev's harmonic language and the cultural and political milieu in which it took shape, other aspects of his musical idiom---especially his formal practice---have often been dismissed as uninventive and overly reliant on classical models. Commentators have referred to his works, in passing, as displaying a "comparative lack of concern about innovation in form" (Malcolm Brown) or adhering to "stereotyped formal patterns straight out of a textbook" (Richard Taruskin).
    While it is indisputable that Prokofiev remained in a close dialogue with classical structures throughout his career, such cursory dismissals bypass much that is unorthodox and connotatively rich in the composer's formal strategies. This dissertation explores a number of these subtleties, presenting a series of four analytical essays that investigate questions of thematic process and formal idiosyncrasy in Prokofiev's early sonata forms (1909-1923). The thematic anomalies foregrounded in these analyses---including Prokofiev's interpolations, superimpositions, truncations, and functional displacements---are shown to greatly complicate the larger structures in which they appear, inviting reassessment of his work within the sonata genre.
    In addition to contributing to a fuller, more rounded portrait of Prokofiev's approach to musical composition, this study will allow us to better situate the composer historically, placing him in relation to a rich network of traditions with which he has previously been only marginally connected, including the nineteenth-century Russian symphonic tradition, fin de siecle Austro-German sonata practice, and the early-twentieth-century Franco-Russian avant-garde.
