In this thesis, I analyze the first, second, and final songs of Clara Schumann's Six Lieder, Opus 13. In each one, special attention is paid to two aspects of Clara's composition. First, I use my research on Clara and Robert's correspondence to attempt to demonstrate ways in which she may have drawn from events during their courtship as inspiration for her compositional choices and techniques in these songs. Second, I interpret a motive that spans the set, the notes of which could be a cipher representative of her and Robert, to construct a narrative across the cycle informed by her and Robert's relationship. My analysis expands in part on questions David Lewin has raised about the first song, "Ich stand in dunkeln Träumen." I hope that these analyses can shed more light on Clara's first set of lieder published independently from Robert's. Further research could be done to see if there are clear similarities between the third, fourth, and fifth songs of this cycle and significant events in Clara and Robert's courtship.

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.

Detta examensarbete utgår från Johannes Brahms liv och bakgrund för att analysera och tolka hans Sonat för violin och piano Op. 108. En strukturell och delvis harmonisk analys beskrivs därefter samt en utläggning för hur styckets svårigheter angrips ur ett speltekniskt perspektiv. Syftet med studien är att få en helhet och överblick över sonaten både strukturmässigt men även att förstå kompositörens tonspråk med dess influenser och tankar kring musiken. Studiens resultat är en förståelse för hur musiken tolkas och hur inlärningsprocessen ser ut. / <p>Johannes Brahms - Sonat för violin och piano op. 108</p><p>Matilda Norlöv Violin</p><p>Thomas Rudberg Piano</p>
