Multiple Context Interpretation of Grieg's Art Songs

Abstract

The evolution of the inner music form of Grieg's art songs confirms the changes in the external social, historical and cultural context. The knowledge, interrogation and understanding of the work are closely related to the specific time and space environment. Grieg crossed artificially set regional boundaries and artistic sects in the complex and diverse context of the times, prompting fringe music to recognize itself. The thoughts, emotions and cultural information released by his works reflect the reconstruction of belief in music tradition and the aesthetic turning of the audience. The context theory is introduced into the study of Grieg art songs to explore the different essential cognition and meaning generation of musical works due to differences in context.
