威廉·阿爾文(William Alwyn, 1905-1985)為新古典主義作曲家，亦是位演 奏家、語言學家、詩人及畫家。他的創作初期承襲了後浪漫的音樂風格，直到中期，開始對新古典主義的創作手法感興趣，故深入研究並運用在其作品中，1941 年後更是投入到電影配樂及紀錄片的創作。阿爾文的作品非常豐富，有由詩歌啟 發的管弦樂作品、器樂獨奏曲、木管樂器與鋼琴的奏鳴曲、加入十二音列的交響曲、為經典電影創作的電影配樂等，作品規模雖然不大，但都發展出屬於自己的創作風格。
本論文以阿爾文於 1934 年所創作的《雙簧管與鋼琴奏鳴曲》為研究主題， 全文共分為五個章節依序討論。第一章介紹威廉·阿爾文的生平及音樂風格，第 二章介紹新古典主義、音樂風格及《雙簧管與鋼琴奏鳴曲》的創作風格與背景， 第三章與第四章以分樂章的方式，將樂曲分析及詮釋與技巧進行探討，第五章則是針對本論文做出結語，文末也附上威廉·阿爾文的作品列表。

William Alwyn (1905-1985) was a Neoclassicism composer, performer, linguist, poet, and artist. He inherited the post-romanticism music style at the early age of creation. Hereafter became interested in the creative technique of Neoclassicism, studied profoundly and applied it to his works. He even devoted himself to the movie soundtrack and documentary in 1941. Alwyn's works are abundant, such as Symphony inspired by poetry, Solo instrumental, Sonata for woodwind instruments and piano, Symphony with twelve notes, soundtracks for the movie, etc. Although the scale of the works was not quite large, he had developed his creative style.
