多曹兒(Justus Johann Friedrich Dotzauer, 1783-1860)為德國大提琴教育家、作曲家，橫跨古典樂派晚期與浪漫樂派初期。

本文藉由進一步認識了解作曲家的創作背景，並以演奏實作練習經驗輔助，從曲式、架構、樂句、動機、音型、節奏、和聲等面向，有條理系統地詳述樂曲之分析與詮釋。

Justus Johann Friedrich Dotzauer (1783-1860), spanned the late of Classical period and the early of Romantic period, was a German cello educator and composer.

In Dotzauer’s Quartet for Bassoon and Violin, Viola, Cello, Op. 36, he brought the sound effects of bassoon and strings in full play in the classical style form. This work displays the spirit of rationality, places emphasis on clarity, delicate structure, symmetry, and unintentionally shows elegant atmosphere and enjoyment of lightness at the same time.

From the point of view of form, structure, phrase, motive, figure, rhythm and harmony, this text orderly details an analysis and interpretation of the work through learning the composer’s background further, and the aid of experience of rehearsal and practice.
