Excerpt 摘录
Our understanding of Frédéric Chopin as a man and musician is marked with ambiguities. There are contradictions between his public and private styles, and his tranformations of popular genres. The known events of his life and relationships have long stimulated the imaginations of writers. Unusual tonal and structural elements of the music have given scholars much to ponder while they sort through the revisions that Chopin made to musical texts through creative and publishing processes. As a result of the quest to come to terms with the composer and his music, an immense body of literature has been published on Frédéric Chopin since his life-time. Fortunately, bibliographies compiled by earlier scholars have classified the many books and articles about the composer and his music. Supplements to these Chopin bibliographies continue to offer excellent guidance for contemporary scholars. Nevertheless, these research tools do not include annotations nor other assessments of the content and value of this literature.
Frédéric Chopin:
A Guide to Research
Book Review（书评节选）
Frédéric Chopin: A Guide to Research. By William Smialek. (Composer Resource Manuals, 50). New York: Garland Publishing, 2000. [xiii, 191 p. ISBN 0-8153-2180-5. $65.]
William Smialek's research guide to Chopin scholarship comes on the heels of the assorted festivals, symposia, and congresses organized in 1999 to honor the sesquicentennial of the composer's death. While the volume covers scholarly works through 1997 only, it offers another opportunity to take stock of the state of Chopin studies at the close of the twentieth century. In his introduction, Smialek states that the purpose of Frédéric Chopin: A Guide to Research is to identify "key directions in Chopin scholarship for scholars and other musicians new to Chopin studies" (p. xi), rather than to serve as an exhaustive review of the musicological literature on the composer and his music. The guide accomplishes this for the most part, but the lapses in academic rigor evident throughout are a disheartening reminder that there is much room for improvement where matters of Chopin research are concerned.
The book is divided into seven chapters, four of which are subdivided into topical categories. Yet despite this apparently straightforward design, the organization is often confusing. It is not clear, for example, why several sources that concern Chopin's relationships with nineteenth-century Polish writers should be cited in the section entitled "The Composer in Other Arts" rather than listed with similar studies in the section "Contemporaries." Nor is it obvious why studies that deal with Chopin's musical genres are divided between the overlapping sections "Analytical Writing" and "Style Studies." Another problem is that of omission; for example, there is no section devoted to the theme of Chopin and nationalism--a serious lacuna, given the author's aim to identify important trends in Chopin scholarship. Useful author, work, and subject indexes, however, make it easy to locate related items scattered among categories.
Although Smialek offers fairly thorough source listings for a number of sections--"Bibliographies," "Catalogs," "Life of the Composer," "Correspondence," "Contemporary Documents," and "Editions" are exemplary--many could have benefited from additional entries. Among the underdeveloped categories are "Related Cultural History," "Societies, Archives, Museums," "The Chopin Legend," and "The Composer in Other Arts." This is unfortunate, as there are many fine Polish studies that deal with Chopin in literature, theater, film, and art, as well as many on the composer's cultural background, awareness of which could potentially stimulate explorations of these subjects by a larger community of readers. Smialek's "List of Works" is not only sparse, but also somewhat misleading. While the author states that "the list of Chopin's work is well established and widely available in many reliable references" (p. 59), he does not recommend a single title to help uninitiated readers, identified as the bibliography's target audience. This oversight is only compounded by the fact that two important sources that include lists of Chopin's works--Jim Samson's recent Chopin (New York: Schirmer, 1997) and Marceli Antoni Szulc's historically significant Fryderyk Chopin i utwory jego muzyczne (Fryderyk Chopin and His Musical Works, 1873; reprint, Cracow: Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne, 1986)--are absent from this guide.
Among the book's more attractive features are its annotations, a chronology, a discography, and a section that cross-references numerous Chopin letters that appear in multiple editions. Unfortunately, like the rest of the volume, these items have been carelessly edited; several Polish proper nouns are misspelled, diacritics are misplaced or forgotten, and a frustrating number of factual errors have been left to stand uncorrected.
