Carl Reinecke is a German composer, pianist, as well as conductor. He is a diverse composer who expresses rich emotions in a strict classic form, emphasizing both form and the spirit of the music. Romanticism arises from German Sturm and Drang movement in the 19th century, thus the important distinction of music during this period is the close integration of literature and music. Many literary giant provide vivid drama and lyric works which turn out to be important inspiration for composers. This Undine Sonata is the creation inspired by the literature piece “Undine” at that time, combining the content of a touching love story and delicate trait of Reinecke’s music.

This thesis not only analyzes the structure and components used in this work, but integrates the content of the story to discuss the union of music and literature, and the relationship between the story, composing techniques, and music scenario under Romanticism in the 19th century. Hopefully after thorough study, one can interpret this piece with more imagination on the music background so as to fully express the sentiment of the music.
