本篇論文的結構分為緒論和三個章節，分別是作曲家的生平、樂曲分析、以及指揮詮釋。
於作曲家生平中，筆者以逐漸聚焦的寫作手法，將此章從範圍最廣的作曲家生平、再縮小至生平分期與創作、最終聚焦在本論文的主題：第六號交響曲的創作背景。此處透過各種中外專書、期刊文章、和網路資料，多方彙整並建構出一套清晰完整且易於了解的生平文獻，以利在接下來的分析章節中，得以加以參考。
樂曲分析章節中，筆者運用自身對和聲架構、演奏語法和配器織度等各項細節的了解，佐以生平文獻，再輔以前輩的專書論文交互印證，始得出結構清楚、合乎邏輯的樂曲分析。依循此脈絡，進行樂曲詮釋，方能使詮釋具有說服力。
指揮詮釋章節中，筆者一改樂曲分析章節中逐句分析細節的方式，轉而將眼界放大，根據樂章中的邏輯與特色，將筆者認為最具特色之處提出，以筆者個人的觀點、指揮技巧與實際排練時所遭遇的狀況加以說明。

The structure of this thesis is divided into an introduction and three chapters,

namely, the composer's life, musical analysis, and conducting interpretation.

In the composer's life, the author uses a focused writing method to narrow this chapter from the most extensive range of the composer's life, then narrow it down to the specific of life and creation, and finally focus on the theme of this thesis: the creative background of Symphony No. 6. Here, through various Chinese and foreign books, journal articles, and Internet materials, a set of biographical documents that are clear, complete and easy to understand are compiled and constructed from various sources, which can be referenced in the following analysis chapters.
In the music analysis chapter, the author uses his own understanding of the harmony structure, articulation, orchestration and other details, supported by biographical documents, and supplemented by the interactive verification of the various books and papers, and finally came to a clear and logical structure, Music analysis. Following this context, the interpretation of music can be convincing.
In the conducting interpretation chapter, the author changed the way of analyzing the details phrase by phrase in the music analysis chapter, and turned to enlarge the horizon. Techniques and situations encountered during actual rehearsals are used to explain.
