| Abstract | In this book the author and other distinguished Schubert scholars and performers--Edward T. Cone, Walther Dürr, Walburga Litschauer, and Steven Lubin--provide a rich appreciation of the musical and literary qualities of these miniature masterpieces. This book contains commentaries on each of the fourteen songs as well as essays on performing the song cycle, the three poets who wrote the lyrics (Rellstab, Heine, and Seidl), and issues surrounding the formal structure of the cycle and reordering of the Heine songs. Also included in the volume is the complete original German poetry with a new English translation, a critical examination of the existing literature about each song, a list by Richard LeSueur of all the complete recordings of the cycle on LP and CD, and an extensive bibliography. This book is a companion volume to Franz Schubert's "Schwanengesang": Facsimiles of the Autograph Score and Sketches, and Reprint of the First Edition, edited by Martin Chusid. |
