A Study On Schubert's 3 Impromptus(D.946)

Schubert's piano sketch is described as 'the beginning of romanticism' and is also one of the significant literature for professional piano study. Schubert has made a total of 11 impromptus,but the final'Three Posthumous hnpromptus'(D.946) have not often received attention,or widely been performed.Guided by the instructor,I began to conduct the research of the 'Three Posthumous Impromptus'(D.946) from January, 2008,and held a successful recital in May,2008.On this basis,this thesis aims at summarising thc past year's research and study,respectively from its aspects of literature style,composing background,structure and general advice to carry out a concrete analysis and elaboration,which,will help me play this work with a better understanding while attracting more people to the research progress.This dissertation is about to analyse the music ontology mainly through literature research.The main body is divided into five chapters.The first chapter introduces the origin and development of the impromptu.The second chapter presents the composing background of the 'Three Posthumous Impromptus'(D.946). The third chapter refers to the structure of the'Three Posthumous Impromptus'(D.946).The fourth chapter conducts a detailed analysis and description of general advice combined with personal experience when perfoming the 'Three Posthumous Impromptus'(D.946).The fifth chapter discusses the progress of the concrete analysis of the'Three Posthumous Impromptus'(D.946),some reflections on usual playing phenomena.These points previously made are regarded as the foundation to demonstrate my attainments and experience in perfonning Schubert's piano work.
