本論文研究主題為舒曼鋼琴曲《克萊斯勒魂,作品十六》。身為浪漫時期代表作曲家之一的舒曼,創作風格忠實地反映了時代背景。浪漫時期的音樂風格以描繪個人的內在思維、細膩情感為主,突破形式的拘束,自由的表現幻想空間,因而此時的音樂家多偏好以「標題音樂」的方式將作品具體化呈現,也造就了在古典時期鮮少出現獨立的樂章樂曲或是幻想曲、間奏曲等之「性格小品」。 舒曼最具代表性的鋼琴作品之一《克萊斯勒魂》,是由八首幻想曲組成的性格小品,除了具有挑戰演奏者的高難度技巧,隱藏於樂曲中的情感意涵與幻想特質,流露出舒曼特有的音樂魅力。本文共分為四章來探究:第一章從舒曼生長的時空背景與接觸之事物,來了解他的創作歷程與理念;第二章從曲式與鋼琴作品來解析舒曼鋼琴音樂之創作特色;第三章乃針對舒曼《克萊斯勒魂》之創作起源及運用手法加以探討;第四章則將作品的八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本文總結。
This thesis focuses on Schumann’s piano work, Kreisleriana, Opus 16. Being one of the prominent composers in the Romantic Era, Schumann’s creative style faithfully reflects the spirit of the age. The music style in the Romantic Era is referring to the style of depicting personal inner perceptions, and delicate vulnerability, expanding from previous form restraint, expressing freely in the space of fantasy. Therefore, musicians of this era adopt a preferable approach, namely “Program Music”, to present their works in specific, and this contributes to the flourishing of “Character Piece”: independent music movements, or Fantasie, Intermezzo, etc., that are rarely heard of in the classical period. Kreisleriana, Opus 16, one of Schumann’s most representative works, is a character piece that is composed of eight Fantasies. In addition to the required highly technical skills that challenge the performer, the hidden emotional implication and the fantasy quality reveal the specific musical charm that is positively Schumann. This paper is divided into four chapters: the first chapter looks into the time and space of Schumann’s background while growing up, and his contacts to understand his creative process and philosophy; the second chapter studies his musical form and piano compositions to analyze the characteristics of Schumann’s piano music; the third chapter explores the origin of Kreisleriana and his creative techniques; the fourth chapter analyzes and interprets the eight musical pieces in more detail; and lastly, this paper ends with a brief conclusion.
