Abstract
Karol Szymanowski and Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz were leading figures in Polish modernism. A thorough review of their relationship and an examination of Witkiewicz’s theory of ‘pure form’ and its applicability to music (via Witkiewicz’s literary portraits of Szymanowski, his attempts at composition, and the critical and theoretical extensions of his work by Konstanty Regamey) provides the basis for analysing the form and content of Szymanowski’s Third Piano Sonata and First String Quartet.
Karol Szymanowski 和 Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz 是波兰现代主义的领军人物。对他们之间关系的全面回顾,以及对维特凯维奇的 "纯粹形式 "理论及其在音乐中的适用性的研究(通过维特凯维奇对希曼诺夫斯基的文学描写、希曼诺夫斯基的作曲尝试以及康斯坦丁-雷加梅(Konstanty Regamey)对其作品的批评和理论延伸),为分析希曼诺夫斯基的《第三钢琴奏鸣曲》和《第一弦乐四重奏》的形式和内容奠定了基础。
