Different narrative structures in Chopin's last style : a new methodology for the narrative and thymic analysis
Abstract
This paper is about a methodology which wants to represent in an innovative way the musical work’s narrativity and emotion according to the moments of tension and detente created by the relations between the different topics. These unities are characteristics figures coming from the historical and social musical legacy and refer to genres and musical styles (march, dances, hymn, etc.). In line with the publications of Robert Hatten, Eero Tarasti, Márta Grabócz and many others, our narrative analyses try to understand the stylistic evolution and the different strategies of Chopin’s compositions. The evolution and concatenation of the topics reveal different identities and itineraries called “narrative structures”. Three models emerge from our analyses: the “complex” structure, the “simple” structure and the and “non-contrasted” structure which characterized all the 21 pieces of our corpus, composed after 1841 and linked to the last style.
