Dichterliebe Op. 48. - Robert Schumann - Bog

Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856) is one of the most distinguished artists of German Romanticism in music. He composed mainly in the first half of the nineteenth century. "The whole song is kept in a lively mood and unchanging texture. The direction and shape of the phrase are obvious; there are few rhythmic changes. However, dynamic should be very closely linked to the melodic line of the voice, according to the principle: the lower the tessitura, the quieter the piano and vice versa. The melodic line is rather a kind of euphoric and excitement declamation of the text - almost every note falls on a syllable. The piano and vocal line once again seem to be completely subordinated to the text. "
