Abstract

The present article studies peculiarities of the thematic structure of music by R. Schumann, where an important role is played by micro monothematic technique. The essential properties of monothematic technique associated with depiction of multivariate artistic images, joining their contrasts into a deep unity, expression of their continuous development and deep ontological transformations are mostly based on the historical and cultural contexts of Romanticism. Monothematic principle finds an original deflection in Schumann’s music: it creates the feeling of an integrated whole, bearing common micro intonations, which, in the end, bond its accord. The distinctive features of the music’s thematic development reveal themselves in the context of intonation analysis method, used for studying the field of intramusical semantics, connected to understanding intonation as a unity of sound and sense, forming a fundament for the living process of intonation
