摘要

十九世紀作曲家布拉姆斯 (Johannes Brahms, 1833-1897)，是浪漫時期的德國作曲家。布拉姆斯創作許多鋼琴曲、交響曲、室內樂及聲樂曲，鋼琴作品是他的創作中很重要的一部分，同時，布拉姆斯自己也是一位炫技鋼琴家，時常首演自己的作品。
布拉姆斯有近百首的鋼琴作品，變奏曲在當中扮演著相當重要的角色，布拉姆斯在中期的創作都以變奏曲為主，本文將探討的《帕格尼尼主題變奏曲》(Variations on a Theme of Paganini, Op.35) 便是其中之一。此曲主題取自帕格尼尼 (Niccolo Paganini, 1782-1840) 為無伴奏小提琴所寫的 《24首隨想曲，作品1》 (24 Caprices for Solo Violin, Op. 1) 當中的第24首a小調樂曲主題，分為上下兩冊，每冊各有14個變奏。
本文分為三大章節，第一章介紹布拉姆斯的生平，以及他各類的重要作品。接著第二章概述變奏曲的介紹，並且簡介布拉姆斯的鋼琴變奏曲。最後在第三章詳細分析《帕格尼尼主題變奏曲》上下兩冊，並對曲子的詮釋與技巧進行探討。

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was a German composer in Romanticism Ages. He composed for piano, symphony orchestra, chamber ensembles, and for voice and chorus. Piano pieces played an important part in his creative life. Meanwhile, Brahms was a virtuoso pianist, he premiered many of his own works.
Brahms produced nearly 100 piano pieces, in which variations played quite a key role. During the middle period of his creative life, Brahms’s works were mostly variations. This paper aims to explore Brahms’s Variations on a Theme of Paganini, Op.35. The main theme of this work came from the Caprice No. 24 in A minor, one of Niccolò Paganini’s (1782-1840) 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, Op. 1. The work consists of two books. Each book opens with the theme, Paganini's Caprice No. 24 in A minor, followed by fourteen variations.
This paper has three Chapters. Chapter 1 introduces Brahms’s life story and all kinds of his critical works. Chapter 2 then discuss the definition of variation, and also reviews Brahms’s Variations. Finally, chapter 3 analyses the two books of Brahms’s Variations on a Theme of Paganini, Op.35, and examines the interpretation and technique of the work.
