本論文研究主題為舒曼鋼琴曲《兒時情景,作品十五》。舒曼生長的時代背景,正處於浪漫派時期。他是浪漫主義初期的代表性作曲家,也是繼舒伯特之後,德國最重要的藝術歌曲創作者之ㄧ。由於浪漫天性使然,舒曼的作品全都反映出他的內在情感與思想內容。他創作多首能抒發情感或跟標題有關的「性格小品」。 《兒時情景》是由十三首小曲所組成的性格小品,是舒曼以成人的立場來回憶童年快樂的時光,以一些情景所做的幻想性作品。這個作品在舒曼生前到二十世紀末為止,一直都被推舉為鋼琴小曲集的典範。本文共分四章來探究:第一章從舒曼的生平背景來了解他創作的過程與理念;第二章從舒曼的鋼琴音樂作品研究來解析他的音樂特色;第三章針對舒曼《兒時情景》的創作背景與寫作手法加以探討;第四章則是將作品的十三首樂曲進行較為詳細的分析與詮釋,最後以簡短的結語作為總結。
