Abstract [sv]

I detta arbete analyseras Claude Debussys stråkkvartett op.10 i g-moll från 1893. Stråkkvartetten skrevs tidigt i Debussys karriär då han ännu inte förknippades som impressionistisk kompositör. Med frågeställningen Impressionism eller romantik analyseras verket utifrån motiv, form, tematik, satsstruktur, harmonik och instrumentering. Det romantiska formatet i kombination med ett nytt impressionistiskt tonspråk gör verket unikt i sitt slag. Debussy använder sonatform i första satsen men lyssnarens intryck är inte ett verk av romantisk karaktär. Musikens oavbrutna flöde kan förklaras med användning av heltonsskala, kyrkotonarter, staplade dimackord, septim-och nonackord utan förberedelser eller upplösning. Arbetets resultat visar att verket är både romantiskt och impressionistiskt.

Abstract [en]

In this study, Claude Debussy's string quartet op.10 in G minor from 1893 was analyzed. The string quartet was written early in Debussy's career when he was not yet considered as an impressionist composer. With the question Impressionism or romanticism, the work is analyzed based on motif, form, theme, movement structure, harmony, and instrumentation. The romantic format combined with a new impressionistic sound makes the work unique. Debussy uses sonata form in the first movement, but the listener's impression is not a work of romantic nature. The music's uninterrupted flow can be explained using whole-tone scales, church modes, stacked diminished chords, seventh and ninth chords without preparation or resolution. The results of the study show that the work is both romantic and impressionistic.
