Background. Close relationships to a song is one of the constants of F. Schubert’s individual thinking. As it embraces all the genre spheres in composer’s heritage, it acquires a universal status, resulting in interchange of author’s findings in chamber-vocal and instrumental works, particularly piano ones. The researchers reveal influence of songs in non-song works by F. Schubert on two main levels: intonationally-thematical and structural. This raised a question about premises, which had created conducive conditions for integration of compositional principles, characteristic for songs and instrumental works by F. Schubert. This question is regarded on the example of three last Piano Sonatas by F. Schubert. Having been written in proximity to composer’s death, they demonstrated unity of composer’s style, achieved by him by integrating his innovations in song and instrumental genres into a unity of the highest degree. Objectives and methodology. The goal of the given article is to study the structure of selected songs by F. Schubert, marked by throughout dramatic development, and to reveal their influence on composer’s last piano sonatas. In order to achieve these goals, compositionally-dramaturgical and comparative methods of analysis were used. Theoretical preconditions. As a reference point for studying of influence of F. Schubert’s songs on his instrumental works, we might consider an article by V. Donadze (1940). In this research author for the first time formulated a view on composer’s song lyricism not only as on central element of his heritage, but also as on a factor, penetrating and uniting all the genres, in which the composer had worked. Thus, concept “song-like symphonism” entered musicological lexicon. The fruitful idea about song-like thinking of F. Schubert found rich development in numerous works of researchers of next generations and keeps its relevance up to nowadays. Results. Even in the one of the very first masterpieces of a song – “Gretchen am Spinnrade” – the author creates unique composition, organized by a circular symbol, borrowed from J. W. Goethe’s text. Using couplet structure as a foundation, F. Schubert creates the structure in a way, creating illusion of constant returning to the same thought, state, temporal dimension. The first parts of every couplet repeat, the second ones – integrate into a discrete, although definitively heading to a culmination, line of development. Thus, double musical time emerges simultaneously cyclical and founded on an attempt to achieve a goal. In the sonata Allegri, regarded in this article, the same phenomenon is revealed in interaction of classical algorithm of composition and functional peculiarities of recapitulations, which are transformed into variants of exposition. As an example of combination of couplet-born repetitions with throughout development we may name song “Morgengruss” from “Die schöne Müllerin”. The same method of stages in the exposition and recapitulation can be found in sonata Allegro of Sonata in C Minor. Polythematic strophic structure with throughout development is regarded on example of “Kriegers Ahnung” (lyricist Ludwig Rellstab) from “Der Schwanengesang”, which is compared to Andante from the before mentioned Sonata. Special attention is drawn to the cases in which cyclical features, characteristic for F. Schubert’s songs, find their way into sonata expositions and recapitulations. In the first movement of Sonata in B-flat Major these chapters of musical structures consist of three quite protracted episodes, which might be identified as first subject, second subject and codetta, respectively. Each of these episodes has its own key, image and logic of compositionally-dramaturgic process, while being marked by exhaustion of saying, which approximates the whole to a song cycle. The logic governing the succession of the episodes is founded not on causation (like in classical sonata expositions and recapitulations), but on the principles of switching from one lyrical state to another. The same patterns of structure are conspicuous in exposition and recapitulation of the first movement of Sonata in C Minor, in which the first section is marked by throughout development, the second one is a theme with two different variations, and the third one, the one recreating the process of rumination, with long pauses and fermatas, interrupting graduality of the movement, is founded on the contrast between playful and lyrical states. The outer movements of Sonata in A Major consist of several episodes. The first subject in ternary form has contrasting middle section; quite uncommon for F. Schubert linking episode dilates so much its function of “transition” is almost lost; enormous second subject eclipses the codetta in every section; it is an unique world, a palette of moods, images, musical events. Conclusions. Innovativity, characteristic for F. Schubert in the field of Romantic song, reveals itself not only in the spheres of images and emotions, musical language, interaction between vocal melody and piano part, but also in the organization of a structure. This allowed to re-evaluate means of organization of compositionally-dramaturgic process in piano sonatas by the composer as in the genre of instrumental music. While in the songs and song cycles these principles of structure were closely connected to extra-musical content, conditioned by it, in instrumental works, specifically, in piano sonatas, they became a feature of the musical content, immanent for music. This particularly helps to explain, why is it possible to use these principles without song-like intonations, usual for them. By the same token, even in this “isolated” variant they remind of their song origin, so songs and song cycles by F. Schubert become a “program” of his piano sonatas and works in another instrumental genres, in a similar fashion to opera, which has become crucial source for development of classical symphony.

Franz Schubert (1797-1828) left many musical scores containing his earliest compositional efforts. Here 'earliest' is taken, for convenience, to refer to the works from the first extant (1810) up to and including the lied Gretchen am Spinnrade (1814), his first generally recognized masterpiece. This dissertation tells the story tracing those efforts in a chronological series of analytical essays. The essays mention only incidentally the external evidence of the home environment, lessons received, concerts attended, and so on, but refer instead primarily to the internal evidence of the compositions themselves, that is, the notes on the page. That story has not previously been told in these terms. The dissertation is thus a contribution to musical analysis applied to a quite important and certainly instructive but very little-known repertoire. An essential feature is that the story proceeds chronologically, to the (fairly large) extent that the exact chronology is known. Over a hundred works are involved, some containing several movements, so the story is necessarily long. Further, music is by no means a simple phenomenon, so the story is necessarily detailed. Another feature contributes to the tracing of the skein of anticipations of resources used in Schubert's later and more famous works, as well as to the evidence of derivation from models of other composers' works. Each work studied is provided with identifying information; musical incipits are also provided in view of the unfamiliarity of the repertoire. This identifying information, though necessary, is merely auxiliary to the story being told, and is accordingly set off from the latter. After the chronological story has been completed, a series of summaries is presented under the various categories of musical analysis; these summaries naturally refer back to the individual works. The ferreting out and telling of the story is itself the aim; no hypothesis is entertained. A review of the story yields several main results concerning the various elements of musical composition. (1) Schubert's attitude to the important matter of sonata form ranged from initial rather extreme experimentation possibly combined with some degree of misunderstanding to a clearly demonstrated ability to handle it convincingly first shown perhaps in his First Symphony D082 (October 1813). (2) Melody and text setting also showed early extremes as in the long and wild ballad Der Taucher D077 (first version September 1813 - April 1814), subsequently settling down, from about his first Opera D084 (first version October 1813 - May 1814), to a more suitable range of expression which was to serve him so well. (3) Counterpoint remained something of a weakness throughout, being used often but only in simple manifestations. (4) Harmony and orchestration were in general well handled throughout and many experiments were noted in methods of modulation. (5) An important factor to be found not in the notes but in the text of the score contributed to the mastery shown in Gretchen am Spinnrade (among other factors which are explored): Schubert's coming into contact with the inspiring poetry of Goethe. Three conclusions are offered on the broadest level. (1) The extent of Schubert's progress as a composer over the period studied was on the whole slight, because of the wealth of resources already at his disposal at the starting point at age 13. (2) The time at which Schubert wrote his first Symphony and first Opera - about October 1813 - is proposed as marking a settling down from earlier extravagance to more acceptably controlled writing. That applies to the two genres, instrumental and vocal music, on the one hand, as well as to the techniques of form and expression, on the other. It thus divides the period studied into two stages. (I naturally hope here to avoid oversimplification and acknowledge that the division is by no means watertight.) (3) By October 1814, the end of the present investigation, it was only in vocal music and specifically the lied, thus not also in instrumental or stage music, that real mastery can be recognized.

Resumo: Música e poesia. Como as duas artes interagem, que significados são criados, reiterados, modificados e como a performance se constrói e se enriquece a partir desta interação é a reflexão que impulsiona o presente trabalho. Propomos uma análise músico-textual visando a interpretação e performance de quatro Lieder do período Romântico construídos sobre o poema Gretchen am Spinnrade de J. W. Goethe. Serão contempladas as canções dos compositores Louis Spohr (Gretchen), Franz Schubert (Gretchen am Spinnrade), Carl Loewe (Meine Ruh ist hin), e Richard Wagner (Meine Ruh ist hin). Para isso, é feita uma introdução sobre o gênero Lied e sobre o poeta. Em seguida, é proposta uma análise literária do poema, que servirá de base para a interpretação das canções. São abordados aspectos conteudísticos e formais do texto, assim como sua contextualização dentro da peça Fausto I, de que foi extraído. Em seguida, é feita uma análise musical das obras, com foco nas relações texto-música presentes e contemplando aspectos tanto da linha vocal quanto do acompanhamento. Ao longo da análise são feitas sugestões interpretativas baseadas nas relações texto-música
Abstract: Music and Poetry. How the two art forms interact, what meanings are created, emphasized, modified and how the performance is built and enriched from this interaction is the reflection that impels the present work. A text-music analysis aiming towards the interpretation and performance of four Lieder - settings from the Romantic period of the poem Gretchen am Spinnrade from J. W. Goethe is presented here. The settings of Louis Spohr (Gretchen), Franz Schubert (Gretchen am Spinnrade), Carl Loewe (Meine Ruh ist hin), e Richard Wagner (Meine Ruh ist hin) will be approached. After introductory considerations about the genre Lied and about the poet are made, an analysis of the poem is presented, which will ground the interpretation of the songs. Content and formal aspects of the text are considered, as well as its contextualization in the play Faust I, from where it was extracted. Afterwards, a musical analysis of the songs is presented, focusing on the existing text-music relations and taking aspects from the vocal line as well as the accompaniment into consideration. During the analysis interpretative suggestions are made, based on the text-music relations
