Publisher Description Arguably no other nineteenth-century German composer was as literate or as finely attuned to setting verse as Robert Schumann. Jon W. Finson challenges long-standing assumptions about Schumanns Lieder, engaging traditionally held interpretations. He argues against the belief that the "Year of Song" simply reflects Schumanns personal life. Finson also devotes attention to the form and metric structure of German poetry that is almost entirely new to the discussion of Schumanns songs.Arranged in part thematically, rather than merely by strict compositional chronology, this book speaks to the heart of Schumanns music. Finsons sustained attention to performance, such as questions of whether two singers might divide performance of cycles or whether miscellanies form coherent entities, allows the reader to engage Schumanns songs in novel ways.Finson brings original research and the most recent scholarship to the musically literate public and the expert alike. This represents the definitive work on Schumanns songs and the standard reference for any Schumann enthusiast. Author Biography Jon W.
