| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 音樂學系 === 100 === Toru Takemitsu is one of the well-known international Japanese composers in the Twentieth century. There is a sizeable collection of works among his forty years of composition. In the thesis, I will mainly emphasize his piano piece, “Rain Tree Sketch II.”. As the last work he wrote for piano solo, he composed the piece in memory of Olivier Messiaen. In this particular piece, Toru Takemitsu extensively used central tone in his work, which went back to tonal language. And the three motives combined with various modes which created his unique music climate.
The research is divided into four chapters. The first chapter is the introduction, which the author describes the purpose, research scope and historical document of the topic. The second chapter is the overview of his compositional career. I will portray his life and compositional style. I will analyze the music in two dimensions in the third chapter: First, I will focus on Messiaen’s and Kanzaburo Oe’s influence on Toru Takemitsu; Second, I will discuss the motive, mode and structure of this work. The final chapter is the conclusion.
