| Summary: | 碩士 === 東吳大學 === 音樂學系 === 98 === After the mid-19th century, two main kinds of musical style developed in the opposite way, the “Neo-Romanticism” and the “Neo-Classicism”. Brahms considered folk song's-like materials as a foundation ideal of composition and integrated the romantic innovation technique and concept together. He succeeded in creating an elegant and bright classical tone into romantic music.
The eighteen songs of the Liebeslieder,Op. 52 were composed in 1869, when Brahms settled down in Vienna. The entire work contained 18 waltzes, they were scored for piano duet and a mixed quartet of vocal soloists. The texts are based on verses from Georg Friedrich Daumer's (1800-1875) anthology (Polydora), which contains translations, or imitations of Russian and Polish folk-songs.
This thesis consists of four parts: the first part is related to Brahms’ bio-bibliography, the background of Brahms’ copositions, and the exploration of Brahms’ musical style; the second part involves the literature background of this work, the development of quartets and waltzes in the field of art songs, the introduction of G. F. Daumer's (1800-1875) bio-bibliography, the lyrics and rhyme of these eighteen songs ; the third part is to discuss the interior of organized structures according to musical form, mode, harmony, modulation and rhythm respectively; whilst outlining the creative process whereby Brahms combined romantic and classical style; the fourth part will identify appropriate interpretation of performance practice according to above-mentioned research.
