舒曼（Robert Schumann, 1810-1856）為十九世紀浪漫時期音樂的代表作曲家之一。在其眾多音樂作品中，鋼琴作品為重要的代表。而從所有的鋼琴作品裡面，其性格小品（Character piece）是較有特色的曲種之一。舒曼性格小品主要以套曲形式呈現，而裡面的每首小曲具有各自的特色。

1852年出版的《彩葉集》作品九十九（Bunte Blätter, Op. 99）是舒曼在1836至1849年創作的小曲所組成的套曲，裡面包含約十三年期間創作的小品。綜觀《彩葉集》裡面的十四首小品中，不但可探究舒曼在曲式架構、節奏特色、旋律素材及調性和聲等方面之特色，也可以發現舒曼透過這些素材的多元組合，呈現出迥異不同性格及情緒，使音樂極富幻想而豐富多彩。
本論文共分為五章，第一章為緒論，分為研究動機與目的以及研究方法與範圍；第二章概述舒曼之生平及探討其鋼琴作品及創作特色；第三章為舒曼《彩葉集》之創作背景及進行樂曲分析之探討；第四章為《彩葉集》在速度、節奏、運音法、力度及踏板等方面作樂曲詮釋之探討；最後，第五章為結論。
