Musical narrative : the foundation of a demonstrative paradigm through an analysis of Franz Liszt's Die Hunnenschlacht

In "Musical Narrative: The Foundation of a Demonstrative Paradigm through an Analysis of Franz Liszt's Die Hunnenschlacht," we have attempted to build off existing theories pertaining to the notion that music can and does convey comprehensible meaning and integrate these notions with linguistics and structuralist analysis techniques in order to create a methodology for analyzing a musical composition as a narrative structure that can convey a discemable story through the organization of the piece's various connotations and extramusical associations. It is then possible to summarize, discuss, and give examples for the ways in which the different aspects of music are capable of conveying the necessary semantic elements that constitute a coherent story. We apply this methodology to Franz Liszt's symphonic poem, Die Hunnenschlacht, and synthesize a reading and subsequently an interpretation of the piece through the treatment of it with various historicist, feminist, and postcolonial theoretical formats. In doing these things, we are endeavoring to open the discourse to a new realm of both musicological and literary studies that combines the conventions of both fields to create a branch of analysis called musical narratology, an interdisciplinary and systematic field focusing on determining the overall structure and specific details of a composition's narrative and a process through which one can then further interpret a piece in a larger social and cultural context.California State University, Northridge.
