| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this document is to explore the text painting in Robert Schuman’s art songs and how he realized the inner emotion of the poet through the piano part. A general overview of Schumann’s life as both a composer and critic will be presented. The musical materials to be covered in this document are Frauenliebe und -leben Op. 42 and Dichterliebe Op. 48. Schumann was influenced by the philosophers and artists of his time, and these influences are evident in his music. The composer’s personal life, his aesthetics of poetry and music, the independent functions of the structural and harmonic elements, and specific performance practices will be thoroughly examined to establish the programmatic content that provides a direct connection with the music itself. This document will provide a musical analysis of two major works from the perspective of a collaborative pianist. Schumann’s approach to text-painting and his exploration of the poet’s inner emotion will be examined as well. This study is a performer’s guide for professional musicians to more fully realize the inner voice of the text, and it can also serve as a resource for amateurs to learn more about Schumann’s songwriting genius. | en_US |
