Description
Summary:碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 音樂研究所 === 94 === Richard Strauss wrote over two hundred art songs (Lieder). Some of them are related to his wife, Pauline. Pauline was a soprano. The relationship between Pauline and Strauss’s Lieder is mainly shown in compositional time and musical characteristics of these songs. Strauss began to write songs for Pauline since their marriage in 1894. From 1897 when their son was born to 1906 when Pauline retired, Strauss not only wrote new songs but also orchestrated songs of piano version for their concerts. These Lieder related to Pauline reveal Pauline’s voice and her performance capability as well as the direction of interpretation. Four songs written for Pauline and four songs Pauline liked to sing are chosen as examples. Both musical analysis and critics on Pauline show that Pauline was good at doing recitative-like recitation, dramatic passage, long phrase...etc. Issues are explored in this article in order to provide another possibility to interpret Strauss’s Lieder.
