Franz schubert : complete song cycles die schone mullerin - vocal and piano - recueil: Die SCHöNe MüLlerin - Die Winterreise - Schwanengesang (Dover Song Collections) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Here reprinted directly from the definitive Breitkopf & Härtel Schubert-Gesammtausgabe, are Schubert's three great song cycles. The directly appealing melodies, with their infinite variety and grace, and the highly evocative accompaniments, filled with graceful pianistic figures, lend these short masterpieces the rare distinction of encompassing greatness in a score of bars.
 
The songs of Franz Schubert stand out as the crowning achievement of the lieder tradition. This volume comprises the following universally known and beloved songs:

• Die schöne Müllerin (1823)
• The somber depth and picturesqueness of Die Winterreise (1827)  
• Schwanengesang (1828), one of Schubert's last works, a rich and masterly epilogue to the long series of his songs

Whether purely lyrical (as in "Wohin?") or creating revolutionary atmospheric effects (as in "Die Stadt" or "Der Doppelgänger"), all of these songs show the composer to sure and powerful advantage. In addition to the music and German texts, this volume also includes English translations of the texts by Henry S. Drinker, previously unavailable, that are especially designed to be sung to Schubert's melodies.
