abstract: This project details specific placement and usage of the Clara motive in Robert Schumann’s Dichterliebe. The analysis categorizes the motive according to its different shapes and relationships to the poetry in Dichterliebe. Four main permutations of the motive are discussed in great detail: the original motive, inverted motive, retrograde motive, and retrograde inverted motive. Schumann (1810–1856) composed more than 160 vocal works in 1840, commonly referred to as his Liederjahr. At the time, Schumann and Clara Wieck (1819–1896) were planning to marry, despite the objections of her father Friedrich Wieck (1785–1873). Robert was inspired to write Dichterliebe because of the happiness-and anxiety-surrounding his love for Clara, and the difficulties leading to their impending marriage. Schumann used the Clara motive (C-Bb-A-G#-A), which incorporates the letters of her name, throughout the song cycle in special moments as a tool of musical expression that alludes to his future wife. Eric Sams (1926–2004), a specialist of German Lieder, has made significant contributions to the research of the Clara motive in Schumann’s music (through his book The Songs of Robert Schumann). However, research into specific locations and transformations of the Clara motive within the Dichterliebe are still insufficient. A further awareness of the Clara motive’s inner working is intended to help performers interpret this song cycle. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2019

Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um modelo de análise musical que fundamenta uma possibilidade interpretativa dos Lieder - gênero musical resultante da fusão das linguagens poética e musical - de Clara Schumann, pianista e compositora alemã do século XIX que teve papel relevante no cenário musical de sua época, realizando a primeira audição e divulgação da obra de muitos dos seus contemporâneos, especialmente de seu marido, Robert Schumann. As análises evidenciam o elevado nível artístico dessas composições, as quais abordam questões relacionadas ao período romântico em um contexto musical extremamente elaborado. A gravação que acompanha esta dissertação pretende oferecer um esboço de possibilidades para a interpretação dos Lieder analisados. / This paper introduces a musical analysis model which underlies an interpretative possibility of the Lieder - musical form resulting from the fusion of poetry and music - by Clara Schumann, German pianist and composer of the 19th Century. Her role in the musical scenario was quite relevant, since she held first auditions and thus disseminated the works of many contemporary composers, specially her husband, Robert Schumann. The analysis corroborates the high artistic level of these compositions, which bring into contact with issues related to the romantic period in a highly elaborated musical work. The included CD offers interpretation possibilities for the analyzed Lieder.
