舒曼是浪漫時期重要的作曲家之一。他短暫的生命,為世人帶來豐富的音樂寶藏。德國大詩人海涅的詩作優美,感情強烈而細膩,但充滿諷刺與悲痛,是浪漫派與寫實主義之間的過渡者。 作品二十四《聯篇歌曲集》第一首「我早晨醒來」描寫主角焦慮等待女孩的心情;「我不安地走來走去」心情更為急躁,女孩遲遲未到,怪罪給懶惰的時間;「我曾經在樹下漫步」帶著失望的心情,在樹下漫步,卻聽見枝頭小鳥唱著女孩的歌謠,心裡更為絕望;「我可愛的愛人」心中出現死亡的意念;「我悲傷的美麗搖籃」與心愛的女孩道別,又恨女孩的絕情;「等等,野船夫」音樂氣勢雄壯,心中感到憤怒;「山岳與城堡俯視」望著萊茵河,心中恢復平靜,回憶往日甜蜜時光;「起初我幾乎失去勇氣」下定決心承受這段失戀;「用桃金孃花與玫瑰花」透過詩歌的魔法,解放自己的靈魂,對女孩的愛情得到了昇華。
Schumann is one of the important composers during the Romantic period. Althought his life is short but he gives us a rich musical treasure. Germany's great poet Heinrich Heine's poems are beautiful, strong and delicate feelings, but it full of irony and grief. He is transition between the Romanticism and the Realism. The first song ”Morgens steh’ ich auf” of “Liederkreis op.24” describe the feeling of anxiety waiting for girls. In ”Es treibt mich hin”, the feeling is more irritable, because of girl too slow to come. So he blamed the time for laziness. ”Ich wandelte unter den Bäumen” With disappointment, he walked under a tree, but heard the birds on the branches sang the songs of girl. His heart even more desperated. ”Lieb’ Liebchen” The idea of death appeard in his mind. ”Schöne Wiege meiner Leiden” He said goodbye to girl with love, but he hated girl's unsympathetic. ”Warte, warte, wilder Schiffmann” The music is majestic, He felt angry about girl. ”Berg’ und Burgen schau’n herunter” When he looking at the Rhine, the heart is calm. The sweet memories came up again. ”Anfangs wollt’ ich fast verzagen” He determined to bear this lost of love for good. ”Mit Myrthen und Rosen” Through the magic of poetry, the imprisonment of his soul has been released, the love for girl has been sublimated.
