Summary of This Score
This score for voice and piano offers a broad overview of the art of the lied in Robert Schumann's work, with a generous selection of emblematic cycles and individual lieder. Included are notably "LIEDERKREIS [HEINE], OP. 24" (9 lieder), "MYRTHEN, OP. 25" (26 lieder), "ZWÖLF GEDICHTE VON JUSTINUS KERNER, OP. 35" (12 lieder), "SECHS GEDICHTE VON REINICK, OP. 36" (6 lieder), "LIEDERKREIS [EICHENDORFF], OP. 39" (12 lieder), "FRAUENLIEBE UND LEBEN, OP. 42" (8 lieder), and "DICHTERLIEBE, OP. 48" (16 lieder). A particularly coherent collection to explore major Romantic themes (nature, wandering, dreams, intimacy, passionate impulses) and the various poetic colors set to music by Schumann.
Beyond the cycles, the score also includes an "INDIVIDUAL SONGS" section gathering pieces from various opus numbers (Geibel, Heine, Goethe, etc.), providing a valuable resource to complete a concert program or prepare auditions and exams. This anthology highlights the richness of Schumann's style: sensitive vocal lines, careful prosody, and piano accompaniments that sculpt the atmosphere and carry the text with subtlety. A solid working tool for singers as well as accompanist pianists seeking a reference score dedicated to 19th-century German lied.
