Journal Article
Narrative Archetypes: A Critique, Theory, and Method of Narrative Analysis
2003
Overview
The author examines the most significant arguments leveled against the existence of musical narrative, most prominently those of Jean-Jacques Nattize and Carolyn Abbate. The author suggests that these arguments can be problematized by an examination of other theories in literature, or by discussion of other ways to think about the relevant issues. A preliminary definition of musical narrative is suggested and a number of features that contribute to the definition are highlighted. This discussion is used as a backdrop for a model of narrative analysis that is centered around the concept of \"narrative archetype.\" The model is informed by myth criticism, by the \"classic\" writings of Northrop Frye, and by the work of semiotician James Jakob Liszka. A single narrative archetype is illustrated with a short analysis of Frédéric Chopin's \"Prelude\" in C minor, op. 28, no. 20.
