布拉姆斯（Johannes Brahms, 1833-1897）於西元一八九二年至一八九三年間創作《幻想曲集，作品一一六》（Fantasies, Op. 116）、《三首間奏曲，作品一一七》（Three Intermezzi, Op. 117）、《鋼琴曲集，作品一一八》（Piano Pieces, Op. 118）、《鋼琴曲集，作品一一九》（Piano Pieces, Op. 119）總共二十首小品中，「間奏曲」（Intermezzo）便佔了十四首；於早期創作階段，布拉姆斯即應用間奏曲之標題於大型曲式中，包括《第三號奏鳴曲，作品五》（Piano Sonata No. 3, Op. 5）的第四樂章和《四首敘事曲，作品十》（Four Ballades, Op. 10）第三曲。在鋼琴性格小品盛行之十九世紀，布拉姆斯選擇形式單純的間奏曲型態抒發內心豐沛的情感，為浪漫主義注入一股嶄新的生命力。
本文以《三首間奏曲，作品一一七》為例，研究內容除前言和結語之外，共分為三大部分論述，第一部分介紹布拉姆斯生平及創作歷程；第二部分則深入探討《三首間奏曲，作品一一七》之創作背景，並分析其創作特色，包含曲式、動機、調性等，以及發展變奏手法在此曲的運用；而第三部分主要由俄羅斯女鋼琴家瑪麗亞‧尤蒂娜（Maria Yudina, 1899-1970）所引述之詩作意境，探究布拉姆斯間奏曲之詮釋觀點。

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) composed Fantasies, Op. 116, Three Intermezzi, Op. 117, Piano Pieces, Op. 118, Piano Pieces, Op. 119 during years of 1892 to 1893. There are fourteen of them titled Intermezzo among these twenty pieces in total. In his early compositional period, Brahms had employed the title of Intermezzo within the large-scale forms, such as the fourth movement of F Minor Piano Sonata No. 3, Op. 5, and Four Ballades, Op. 10-3. While compositions of piano character pieces flourishing in the nineteenth century, Brahms chose the simple formal structure as Intermezzo to describe his profound emotional world, which bringing a brand new exuberance for Romanticism.
The research will concentrate on Brahms’ Three Intermezzi, Op. 117. There are three main chapters besides the preface and conclusion in this paper. The first chapter introduces Brahms’ life and musical experience; the second chapter discusses the historical background and the analysis of Brahms’ Three Intermezzi, Op. 117, including form, thematic materials, tonality, and the feature of developing variation technique. The third chapter focuses on exploring the interpretational thoughts of Brahms’ Intermezzos from the point of view of pianists, especially the poetic quotations suggested by Russian pianist Maria Yudina (1899-1970).
