舒伯特(Franz Schubert, 1797-1828)不僅以藝術歌曲聞名於世,其器樂作品也具高度的藝術價值。舒伯特的鋼琴創作種類多樣,從遵循古典傳統曲式的奏鳴曲與變奏曲,到十九世紀的鋼琴性格曲,都有傑出的作品。本論文選擇以舒伯特早期的兩首獨立鋼琴變奏曲《F大調十段變奏曲》(Ten Variations in F Major, D. 156)與《胡登伯納主題變奏曲》(Variations on a Theme of Anselm Hüttenbrenner, D. 576)為研究主題來進行討論。 這兩首鋼琴變奏曲有不同的主題來源,《F大調十段變奏曲》為舒伯特原創主題、《胡登伯納主題變奏曲》則是借用他人所作之旋律為主題。本論文之內容主要探討下列課題:(1)舒伯特對於不同來源的主題,在處理與寫作手法上有何異同;(2)主題結構在各變奏段落中的變化伸縮;(3)舒伯特使用哪些鋼琴技巧作為變奏樂段的呈現與音樂風格的展現;(4)這兩首鋼琴變奏曲在實際教學上的應用及其意義。
Not only is Franz Schubert (1797-1828) known for his Lieder, he also wrote highly acclaimed works for instruments. His excellent piano works span across various categories, ranging from sonatas and variations that take the classic form, to 19th-century piano character pieces. This study mainly discusses two independent piano variations from Schubert’s early period, namely the Ten Variations in F Major, D. 156 and Variations on a Theme of Anselm Hüttenbrenner, D. 576. Each of the two piano variations has its own distinctive theme: while the Ten Variations in F Major, D. 156 features Schubert’s original theme, the Variations on a Theme of Anselm Hüttenbrenner, D. 576 was based on a borrowed melody. This study discusses the following topics: (1) The different approaches Schubert took to composing music on different themes; (2) The changes in structure---including the change in length--- among different variations; (3) The piano techniques Schubert used to demonstrate a specific variation or a music style; (4) The applications and significance of these two piano variations in teaching practice.
