Recent Researches in the Music of the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries

Famous Poets, Neglected Composers: Songs to Lyrics by Goethe, Heine, Mörike, and Others
Edited by J. S. Smeed
 
N 10 ISBN 0-89579-266-4 (1992) lii+93 pp. $52.00
  ISBN 978-0-89579-266-2 (13-digit)    

Throughout the nineteenth century a host of composers in German-speaking Europe wrote Lieder, often to texts by Germany's most famous poets. Among the thousands of songs are many that are both intrinsically beautiful and fascinating when compared with more famous settings of the same texts. This edition offers 34 works, from W. J. Tomásek and Conradin Kreutzer in the early nineteenth century to Bernhard Stavehagen at the beginning of the twentieth. None has previously been available in a modern edition.

"Besides offering a representative sampling of a neglected but significant portion of Lied repertory, this anthology provides a context allowing one to understand better the innovations of Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, and their successors." Steven M. Bruns and Mary Kay Geston, Notes, June 1994.
