다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Johannes Brahms composed brilliant piano pieces. In particular, he wrote several piano collections that consist of a few character pieces since 1890: Op.116(1892), Op. 117(1892), Op. 118(1893), Op. 119(1893). Among the late collections, Op. 116-19, Op. 118 has six pieces: No. 1 Intermezzo in a, No. 2 Intermezzo in A, No. 3 Ballade in g, No. 4 Intermezzo in f, No. 5 Romance in F, No. 6 Intermezzo in eb. Op. 118 reveals late characteristics of Brahms's music as well as common features of the Romantic character pieces. Furthermore. it shows his technique of thematic transformation and modification.
In the present study, I analyze Op. 118, No. 6 in eb minor. I investigate the tonal, harmonic structure of this work, and the relationship between the tonal, harmonic structure and formal structure. Through the analysis of the tonal, harmonic structure, we can find the basic linear structure of the theme consisting of a descending third. Throughout the piece, the interval pattern of a descending third is a prominent and recurring musical element. The analysis of the relationship between the tonal, harmonic structure and formal structure demonstrates that the whole piece is related by the tonal, harmonic structure even though the piece is divided into formal frame. Namely, the tonal, harmonic structure is neither presented nor contrasted nor recapitulated according to the formal structure. All the process of tonal, harmonic structure is made by the continuous reinterpretation and expansion of a small idea. Arnold Schoenberg uses a term, "Developing Variation" to refer to the endless reshaping of a basic idea by thematic modification. He cites Brahms's works as clear examples of the developing variation. Also, he recognizes Brahms as a composer of organic music. This study proves an aspect of Brahms's compositional technique that is related to the developing variation.
