Many books have been written which deal with the subject of form and style in Beethoven's works. Most writers, however, seem to be satisfied with superficial descriptions - in some cases merely programatic - which do not explain the underlying problems and treatment of form. Furthermore, no book exists, to my knowledge, which delves so deeply and with such detail as to deduce with almost certain accuracy the inner coherency of the form. It is the aim of this analysis to approach the problem in this way. The edition used for this purpose is that one published by Ernst Eulenberg Ltd. London WI, which was edited from the autograph M.S. by Professor Dr. Wilhelm Altman. No comparisons are made with other editions, and possible printer's and other errors are not considered. I chose the works to be studied here, the three quartets Op. 59, for two reasons: 1) the string quartet medium is one of the most suitable types of instrumental music for the study of form, 2) the Op. 59 quartets belong to a period in Beethoven's life when he was particularly intent upon experimentation in form and development of dimension.

Após uma contextualização histórica da obra, discursadas questões como o desenvolvimento do Lied, os lieder de Beethoven, o poeta Alois Isidor Jeitelles e o piano da época, bem como relacionadas as diferenças nas edições da obra utilizadas, foi necessária uma análise do ciclo, por meio do estudo de vários elementos musicais - texto poético, número dos compassos, extensão vocal, tonalidade, forma, andamento, estrutura Taseológica, harmonia, ritmo, dinâmica, timbre, textura - que, além de possibilitar uma definição clara das relações entre texto e música, evidencia a importância expressiva do piano nesse ciclo de canções, viabilizando, ainda, a discussão de aspectos interpretativos do mesmo - andamento, articulação e sonoridade, ornamentação, dinâmica, pedal e recursos para o cantor / Abstract: This work intends to verify the relation between text and music, particularly in the piano accompaniment of the Beethoven's song cycle An die ferne Geliebte (1816). Given a historical context of the piece, the development of the Lied and Beethoven's lieder, the poet Alois Isidor Jeitelles, and the specifications of the piano of the Classic Period, as well as related the differences in some editions of this piece. An analysis of the song cycle was made, by means of the study of some musical elements -poetic text, number of the measures, vocal range, tonality, form, tempo, phrasal structure, harmony, rhythm, dynamics, timbre, texture - which, besides making possible a clear definition of the relations between text and music, showed the expressive importance of the piano in this song cyc1e, allowing some considerations of its interpretative aspects - tempo, articulation and sound quality, omamentation, dynamics, pedaling and resources for the singer / Mestrado / Mestre em Artes

The relationship between Franz Liszt and Ludwig van Beethoven has always held a special position in the biographical tradition of Liszt. Liszt claimed that he received a consecration kiss (the Weihekuss) from Beethoven when he was eleven. However, the story probably was fabricated: in other words, the personal relationship between Liszt and Beethoven was never realized and never existed. Even though Beethoven and Liszt probably have never met, the Weihekuss still served as, in Liszt's words, "the palladium of my whole career as an artist." Liszt constructed a rather complicated relationship with Beethoven around this myth. In this study, I shall examine how the Weihekuss influenced both Liszt's life and his professional development as a performer and editor. In chapter one, I will analyze Liszt's psychological state through the anecdote and further examine the impact that Beethoven had inserted on both Liszt's life and career. On becoming a concert pianist, Liszt was the first person who performed Beethoven's piano sonatas in public and eventually elevated the genre of the sonata into the concert repertory. In chapter two, through eyewitness testimonies, Liszt will be viewed in a broader cultural and historical perspective. Meanwhile, Liszt's relationship with his audiences and his marketing strategies will also be included in this discussion. Liszt's "authority" on Beethoven led him to complete an edition of Beethoven's thirty-two piano sonatas in 1857. By examining Liszt's edition, particularly those sonatas that he performed, one can get a sense of how Liszt himself may have interpreted the music. According to Liszt himself, he performed ten Beethoven piano sonatas in public. These ten sonatas will be the primary focus in chapter three. Liszt both added and omitted articulation and pedal markings, creating different emphases and lines from those present in Beethoven's original manuscripts. The edition, in a sense, is Liszt's final tribute to Beethoven, but also reveals his constant disappointment in never having met the composer. To edit the sonatas was, for Liszt, a way to communicate with Beethoven spiritually, if not personally.

Beethoven is generally acknowledged to be the most important composer of the 19th century. However, many critics and musicologists dismiss Beethoven's Lieder as being of less musical value and sophistication than his more instrumentally conceived late vocal writings. The true musical sophistication of Beethoven's Lieder can be discovered by a careful study of the harmonic structure and the relationship between the vocal and the piano part in Beethoven's Lieder. In discussing Beethoven's Lieder style based on analysis, a number of aspects shall be examined: (1) the harmonic idiom and key relationships; (2) the role of the piano; and (3) other stylistic features.
