Analysis of Schumann's Art Songs Harmony Technique——Taking Three Sets as an Example

Schumann is an outstanding German composer. In his short life, he created a lot of excellent vocal music works, in which he used a wealth of harmony techniques, both traditional and non-traditional harmony. This paper takes his three vocal songs "Love and Life of Women", "Love of the Poet" and "Myrtle" as examples to study the harmonic techniques of Schumann's art songs. Through the analysis and research of the harmony techniques of the three vocal songs and the application of the processing techniques in the harmonic progression in his works, this paper summarizes the characteristics of his application of harmony techniques in art song creation.#br#
