论现代小说的音乐性

现代小说与传统小说的重要区别是更加关注小说形式的探索。借鉴其他艺术门类的手法成为现代小说形式实验的重要手段。音乐作为与文学相邻的艺术形式,给小说与音乐的联姻提供了有益的理论支持。现代小说主要通过借鉴音乐节奏、音乐曲式和音乐旋律来实现小说文本的音乐性,具体地说,音乐节奏体现在小说语言的声音层面,音乐曲式体现在小说的结构安排上,音乐旋律则主要体现在小说的意境营造上。现代小说的音乐性是小说文体形式的一次重要变革,它扭转了长期以来小说作为散文体仅注重文学语言的语义层面而轻视语音层面的创作实践,丰富了小说语言的艺术表现力。

Musicality of modern fictions

The major difference between modern fictions and the traditional fictions is that modern fictionists pay more attention to the form of fictions.To refer to and utilize the other art disciplines has been an important means of form experimenting of modern fiction.Music,as a kind of art form adjacent to literature,provides a theoretical support for the cooperation between fictions and music.Modern writers primarily draw musical rhythms,musical forms and musical melodies to achieve the musicality of the texts.Specifically,musical rhythms are reflected in the aspects of voice of fiction language;musical forms are in the structural arrangements of fiction;and musical melodies mainly in the creation of atmosphere and mood.The musicality of modern fictions is an important reform to the fiction style or form.It turns round the old creation practice,in which the fiction,as a prose,used to pay attention to the semantic level of literature language,but neglected the voice level;and it will definitely enrich the art expression of fiction language.
