| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 音樂研究所 === 101 === Born in Pamplona, Spain, Sarasate was one of the most admired violinists among his age. After finishing his studies in Paris, he toured the world. Many of his tour repertoires were arrangements of tunes from famous operas. The best known among them was his Concert Fantasies on Carmen, and some came from his homeland melody. His four books of Spanish dances which makes use of folk tunes, rhythmic pattern and imitation to the traditional instruments elegantly. Sarasate successfully recreated and transformed these Spanish dances into violin compositions with innovative violin techniques. Through his compositions, all these works remains popular until today’s violin playing repertoire.
In my study, I have researched Sarasate’s work op.22: Romanza Andaluza and Jota Navarra. The intended result of this study is to help the performer give an stylistically accurate and informed performance of these dazzling piece and to let the piece be loved by more audience. First, I will discuss Sarasate’s performance style based on the contemporary critics such as Carl Flesch and others, and then explore the compositional historical background and the characteristics of each piece. In the end, I will give my personal interpretation on the performance aspects through the analysis of music structure.
