{"product_id":"complete-song-cycles-die-schone-mullerin-die-winterreise-schwanengesang","title":"Complete Song Cycles: Die Schöne Müllerin, Die Winterreise, Schwanengesang","description":"Practically without ancestry, the songs of Franz Schubert stand out as the crowning achievement of the \u003ci\u003elieder \u003c\/i\u003etradition. The directly appealing melodies, with their infinite variety and grace, and the highly evocative accompaniments, filled with graceful pianistic figures, lend these short masterpieces the rare distinction of encompassing greatness in a score of bars. \u003cbr\u003eSchubert's three great song cycles are here reprinted directly from the definitive Breitkopf \u0026amp; Härtel \u003ci\u003eSchubert-Gesammtausgabe.\u003c\/i\u003e The volume comprises the universally known and beloved songs of \u003ci\u003eDie schöne Müllerin\u003c\/i\u003e (1823), the somber depth and picturesqueness of \u003ci\u003eDie Winterreise\u003c\/i\u003e (1827) and \u003ci\u003eSchwanengesang\u003c\/i\u003e (1828), one of Schubert's last works, a rich and masterly epilogue to the long series of his songs. Whether purely lyrical (as in \"Wohin?\") or creating revolutionary atmospheric effects (as in \"Die Stadt\" or \"Der Doppelgänger\"), all of these songs show the composer to sure and powerful advantage. \u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the music and German texts, this volume also includes English translations of the texts by Henry S. Drinker, previously unavailable, that are especially designed to be sung to Schubert's melodies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAustrian composer Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was the first of the great Romantics. In addition to his nine symphonies, he wrote more than 600 \u003ci\u003eLieder\u003c\/i\u003e (songs) as well as piano pieces, operas, and chamber music.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50491768209682,"sku":"9780486226491","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_2c6ad74b-8d6d-4bce-84de-68f0946d6a41.jpg?v=1730554654","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/complete-song-cycles-die-schone-mullerin-die-winterreise-schwanengesang","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
