Book Description
Robert Schumann's first piano sonata, op. 11, is of great importance within his compositional output, but it is faced with undue neglect in performance and in-depth analytical study. Though he has been criticized for his inability to handle large forms, this sonata exemplifies a thorough sense of design, unity, and intricacy in his writing. There exists a considerable dearth of analysis that focuses specifically on the voice-leading structure of this sonata. Such an approach would shed light on the way Schumann engages with larger structures. The first three movements of this work set a precedent of organic self-awareness in the use of cyclical elements and references to other pieces of music. This paper uses voice-leading analysis to study the inner workings of the Finale and uncovers a parallelism that unifies the movement with the rest of the sonata. This analysis suggests that a hierarchical musical drama is embedded within the tonal design of the Finale, which allows us to consider the question of tonal function within the movement's structure. The consequences of a potential omission of mm. 213-254 are considered as they relate to this hierarchical design, such that pianists may make more informed decisions in their interpretation of the work. The aim of this analysis is to strive for a richer appreciation of the structural design of this sonata and to direct attention in analytical and musical environments to the poetic qualities present even in Schumann's larger works.

Robert Schumann's Piano Sonata No. 1 in F-sharp Minor, Op. 11 -- Style and Structure

Book Description
Robert Schumann's music reflects the complexity of his life and psyche. Even Schumann himself acknowledged the challenges this presented to anyone attempting to understand his music, and the Piano Sonata no. 1 in F-sharp minor, op. 11 is an example of the complex inter-relationship between Schumann's music and life. This document will have a three-fold approach to discussing Schumann's Sonata. I will outline the literary characteristics of German Romantic authors, discuss how Schumann musically interprets these characteristics while reflecting other composers, and show how these techniques help add extra-musical significance to op. 11, particularly in connection with Clara. Robert Schumann's compositional style reveals a wide range of influences, such as Romantic authors Jean Paul Richter and E. T. A. Hoffmann and fellow composers Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, and Johann Sebastian Bach. While these people were influential in Schumann's life, perhaps no one was more important to Schumann than Clara Wieck. During the composition of the Sonata op. 11, Clara's father, Friederick Wieck, attempted to end their relationship by sending Clara far away. Schumann used this Sonata as a means of communicating with Clara. These elements give op. 11 an additional level of meaning. I believe that this Sonata accurately reflects Schumann's influences, compositional style, and his life and that understanding this diverse spectrum of elements can be invaluable to anyone attempting to interpret this great work.
