Abstract
This paper reviews Schubert’s song cycle Die Schöne Müllerin and
discusses ten songs that symbolize the stream figure. By analysing the
song figures and harmonies, we get to see how Schubert used music to
describe the character of the stream.
By observing the formal construction of Die Schöne Müllerin, my
research also examined the dialogues between the river and the
protagonist, the teenage Miller. As the storyline develops, we will further
analyze the mental state of the Miller. With deep research and
understanding, this can assist the performer to better understand and
inhibit the character in future.
Finally, through a combination of music analysis, dramatic narration
and song interpretation, we discuss the song cycle's description of the
relationship between the stream and the Miller.
