Description
DEUTSCHESCHUBERT-LIED-EDITION, Vol. 1Franz Schubert (1797-1828)Winterreise The EditionIn1816 Franz Schubert, together with his circle of friends, decided to publish acollection of all the songs which he had so far written. Joseph Spaun, whomSchubert had known since his schooldays, tried his (and Schubert's) luck in aletter to the then unquestioned Master of the German language, Johann Wolfgangvon Goethe: A selection of German songs will constitute thebeginning of this edition; it will consist of eight volumes. The first two (thefirst of which, as an example, you will find in our letter) contains poemswritten by your Excellency, the third, poetry by Schiller, the fourth andfifth, works by Klopstock, the sixth by Matthison, Holty, Salis etc., theseventh and eighth contain songs by Ossian, whose works are quite exceptional.TheDeutsche Schubert-Lied-Edition follows the composer's original concept. AllSchubert's Lieder, over 700 songs, will be grouped according to thepoets who inspired him, or according to the circle of writers, contemporaries,members of certain literary movements and so on, whose works Schubert chose toset to music. Fragments and alternative settings, providing their length andquality make them worth recording, and works for two or more voices with pianoaccompaniment will also make up a part of the edition.Schubertset the poetry of over 115 writers to music. He selected poems from classicalGreece, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, from 18th-century German authors,early Romantics, Biedermeier poets, his contemporaries, and, of course,finally, poems by Heinrich Heine, although, sadly, the two never met.Theentire edition is scheduled for completion by 2005. Thanks to the NeueSchubert-Ausgabe (New Schubert Edition), published by Barenreiter, whichuses primary sources - autograph copies wherever possible - the performers havebeen able to benefit from the most recent research of the editorial team. Forthe first time, the listener and the interested reader can follow Schubert'stextual alterations and can appreciate the importance the written word had forthe composer. Theproject's Artistic Advisor is the pianist Ulrich Eisenlohr, who has chosenthose German-speaking singers who represent the elite of today's young German Liedersingers, performers whose artistic contribution, he believes, will stand thetest of time. ------Never are we more exposed to sufferingthan when we love; never more helplessly unhappythan when we have lost a beloved person or their love.?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á?á -- Sigmund FreudWinterreise (Winter Journey) is the monologueof a desperate, deeply sad person, disappointed in love.
