碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 音樂學系研究所 === 97 === After 1885, Richard Strauss began to create program music due to Alexander Ritter’s suggestion. Among these works, the most important were the 7 tone poems. Tone poem 《Don Quixote》 was composted according to the play created by the Spanish writer Cervantes. Richard Strauss not only expressed the story by leading motive and tone painting, but also satirized the society. Furthermore, he unleashed his angry by the meaning of the story. My essay is divided into two major parts. The first is the biography of Richard Strauss as well as the characteristic of this tone poem. The second is the analysis of variation structure, motive development, tone painting skill, orchestration timbre and harmony disposition. I still discuss the rhythm, skill and terminology in advanced.
