「輪旋曲」(rondo) 最早可追朔至歐洲古老民間的歌舞，其創作從文藝復興時期 開始發展，並一直維持到二十世紀，發展悠遠。「輪旋曲」先是作爲樂曲裏面的其中 一個樂章發展，而後也發展為獨立的輪旋曲。本論文將著重探討蕭邦四首鋼琴獨立輪 旋曲，即《作品一》，《作品五》，《作品七十三》和《作品十六》。此四首作品皆 為蕭邦少年時期的早期作品。雖然此四首作品在思想感情以及寫作手法都不如後期作 品驚豔，但不乏美學價值。這四首輪旋曲都充分展現出年輕蕭邦的寫作天賦與活力， 巧妙地將傳統輪旋曲式適度創新，如拓展輪旋曲曲式架構。其中導奏、過渡段及結尾 段都被大幅擴大;樂曲以極其優美旋律寫作，透過不同和聲色彩及節奏特點，豐富樂 曲内容。
年輕的蕭邦有活力且熱情，創作此四首作品時，堪稱蕭邦一生中最美好的時光。蕭邦遊覽了各地的風光，心中充滿對田園風光的喜愛和大自然的熱愛。蕭邦在青年時期熱衷參與各種民間歌舞活動，並喜歡聆聽意大利歌劇;而這些都成爲了蕭音樂中的養分。本論文總共分爲六個章節。第一章的緒論將簡述筆者的研究動機以及方法。第二章則將討論輪旋曲的定義類型與來源發展。到了第三章，筆者將著重討論蕭邦音樂風格以及四首鋼琴作品。第四章寫作樂曲分析，到了第五章在探討樂曲詮釋。最後，第六章為結論。

"Rondo" can be traced back to ancient European folk songs and dances. It began to develop during the Renaissance and continued until the 20th century. The "rondo" first developed as one of the movements in the repertoire, and then developed into an independent rondo.
This dissertation will focus on the Chopin's four piano independent rondos, which is "op.1, op.5, op.73 and op.16". They were composed during Chopin’s early stage. Although these four works were not as stunning as his later works, they still brought vital aesthetic value. Chopin’s four piano independent rondos showed his writing talent and vitality. He innovated the traditional rondo writing style. For instance, he expanded the form structure of rondo. The introduction, transition and codas have been greatly expanded. Chopin’s music was fulfilled with extremely beautiful melody, harmonic colors and rhythm characteristics.
Young Chopin was energetic and enthusiastic, it was the best time of his life during he composed these four works. Chopin traveled around, embracing the nature and pastoral scenery. Chopin was keen to participate in various folk singing and dancing activities in his youth. Moreover, he loved listening to Italian opera. All of these experiences became the nutrients in his music.
This thesis is divided into six chapters in total. The first chapter will briefly describe the aim and method of my research. Chapter 2 will discuss the definition type and history of rondo. In the third chapter, this thesis will focus on the Chopin piano music style and four rondos for piano. The fourth chapter is about music analysis, and the fifth chapter will be the music interpretation. The final chapter chapter is the conclusion.
