Classical Piano Chamber Music as Seen through the Eyes of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven
古典樂派鋼琴室內樂作品之初探
摘要
在台灣，許多人自幼學習鋼琴，擁有優良的演奏技巧，而在音樂系中，主修鋼琴的學生亦非常多。受限於樂團的樂器編制，許多琴藝優秀的學生無緣享受合奏的樂趣。筆者以為，鋼琴演奏技術傑出的學生大多自幼習琴，經過多年的努力學習後，具有相當優秀的演奏水準，但演奏型式多為單獨在舞台上背譜彈奏，壓力相當大。因鋼琴家參與在鋼琴室內樂中是容許看譜的，筆者建議鋼琴演奏者可多參與小型樂器編制的鋼琴室內樂，學習與人合奏，進而學習與合奏夥伴相互切磋樂曲的詮釋及培養默契。 古典樂派的海頓、莫札特、貝多芬為我們留下了可觀的鋼琴室內樂作品，這些作品因旋律清晰、形式工整，極適合作為鋼琴彈奏者與人合奏的入門曲目。筆者在本文中略為介紹室內樂的演奏方式、古典樂派室內樂常見的基本曲式，並簡略介紹海頓、莫札特、貝多芬對室內樂的貢獻，再各淺介三位大師的一首鋼琴室內樂樂曲，期望以此平易近人的曲目作為拋磚引玉，讓鋼琴室內樂得以被推廣。

In Taiwan, there is a tendency for children to learn music at a young age. The piano being the instrument, most often selected to serve as a foundational start. In recent years there has been a growth of music specialization classes, with the piano leading the way as the choice for most music majors. This has undoubtedly resulted in the demise of the orchestral format which in turn has led to the inability of students to experience the chemistry team effort so vividly propagated by the orchestral concept. The author's definition of a good pianist is one who has spent a lot of time in their formative years, starting at a young age and ultimately ending up in music faculties. These players rarely perform with the aid of score sheets-preferring instead to perform all music from memory, which consequently puts them through greater performance anxiety. On the contrary, pianists performing in the chamber group context can use score sheets, thus alleviating the stress of all that memory work. This in turn would provide a relaxed, interactive atmosphere- freeing the musician to sharpen his/her ensemble performance skills. The great composers Haydn, Mozart, or Beethoven have left behind several timeless chamber music pieces suited for the pianoforte- clearly defined in melody and well articulated in structure. In this expository, I will be introducing chamber group performance methods, classical and pre-classical music forms, as well as the contributions made by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. These three pieces I have chosen are well suited to the pianist seeking an attempt at introductory chamber music.
