Schubert's Lieder And The Philosophy Of Early German Romanticism

This study of Franz Schubert's settings of poetry by Friedrich Schlegel and Novalis introduces the fascinating world of early German Romanticism in the 1790s. Schubert's encounters with early Romantic poetry some twenty years later reanimated some of the movement's central ideas. Through exploration of Fr?romantik ideas, along with their musical representations by Schubert, this book opens an intriguing world of thought. At the same time, Feurzeigh explores some of Schubert's little-known songs, which range from quirky to charming to exquisite.
