舒曼(Robert Alexander Schumann，1810〜1856)《兒時情景》作品十五 (Kinderszenen op.15)，在舒曼的所有作品中是極具代表性作品之一，以成人對兒時的回憶為靈感，用13首小品組成的聯篇套曲，其聯篇套曲形式在當時也頗為新穎突出。時至今日，此作品也是古典鋼琴學習者常會接觸學習的作品之一。因此，本篇文章將依序對此聯篇套曲做深入探討，首先，研究當時浪漫樂派聯篇樂曲特質與舒曼聯篇套曲特質相關性，及舒曼創作《兒時情景》作品十五的背景與影響。接著對《兒時情景》作品十五樂曲所使用的作曲手法與和聲配置做詳細分析研究，然後，再透過《兒時情景》作品十五作曲手法的分析結果進一步探討出合理的音樂詮釋。
Kinderszenen op.15 is one of the most representative works by Robert Alexander Schumann (1810-1856). Composed of 13 piece suites, Kinderszenen op.15 is inspired by the composer’s memories of childhood, a piano cycle which at the time was quite novel and prominent. To this day it is still one of the works that classical piano learners often study. Therefore, this thesis will explore in depth this cycle in order. First, it will research into the characteristics of the Romantic song cycle and Schumann's piano cycle, then relationship, and the compositional background and influence of Kinderszenen. A detailed analysis of compositional methods and harmonic is Kinderszenen will follow. Finally, a reasonable interpretation of the music will hopefully be concluded based on the above analysis.
