| Summary: | 碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 音樂學系 === 105 === Franz Liszt (1811-1886) is one of the leading composers of the Romantic period. He has composed more than seven hundred pieces of musical works. Diverse techniques are applied in his musical works, including thematic transformation, semitone, and vague tonality. His virtuosic style has caught great attention. However, it is his virtuosic style that makes the content of his works often being ignored. Nonetheless, Liszt’s techniques in combining literature and music undoubtedly elevate the artistic value of music.
This thesis focuses on Sonetto 47,104,123 del Petrarca. There are five chapters in this thesis. The first chapter is the introduction, explaining research motivation, objective, range, and methods.
