本論文的寫作重點,是在分析研究柴高夫斯基<第五交響曲>的作品內容,筆
者將之分成六個方向來探討,即編制,主題來源,小節句節結構,配器,層次
和曲式.再以影響其創作思想的生平事蹟為背景,從四個不同的成長環境
中,對柴高夫斯基的一連串亨運與遭遇,理出一個完整的概念,從研讀柴氏
的祖國蘇俄之介紹,去瞭解柴氏當代的政治環境,以及柴氏所處的時代地
位.有關<第五交響曲>之創作歷程的研究,更能瞭解他當時的心情與思緒,
及創作的目的,也因著如此的動機,而產生了舉世喜愛的名曲.最後的指揮
法處理,是熟讀前章所有的豐富知識並融會貫通之後,以指揮者的角度,將
每一個樂句的指揮方式用文字表達出來.至於指揮者最重要的一門藝術,是
將作曲家的意念,藉由指揮者的動作忠實地傳達給聽眾.筆者在寫作之前,
特意聆賞多場音樂會及影碟片和磁碟片,參考名家的指揮技巧和處理方式,
並匯集自己的想法書寫成章.盼經由此論文能更奠定紮實的學術研究精神.

The study of the Tchaikovsky fifth symphony centers on reserch
of interpretation for conducting. This symphony was written
during his last compositional period (1885- 93) in 1888, ten
years after the fourth symphony. Tchai- kovsky incorporates the
Russian and Polish folktune and western writing techniques into
his own unique style. The thesis contens six main parts.
Chapter one is the introduction of the paper. Chapter two
briefly discuss Tchaikovsky's life and musical creation.
Chapter four and five feature the main part of the entire
study, including stylelistic and formal analisis, instrumenta-
tion, orchestration, interpretation and how to train and
conduct this symphony. Tchaikovsky employs the traditional
symphony formal structure in the first, second, and fourth
movements. He incorporates the French waltz structure in the
third movement. The composer concludes the symphony with
heroic, marching style in a major key, which represents his
victory over the fate.
