Album & Artwork
The Deutsche Schubert-Lied-Edition aims to publish all of Schubert's over 700 songs, grouped by the poets who inspired him.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Schiller, a classical German writer, was a significant early inspiration for Schubert as a song composer, even more so than Goethe.
Compositional Technique
Schubert's settings of Schiller's poems demonstrate a wide range of compositional techniques, from simple strophic songs to operatic recitative-aria models and freely composed song fantasies.
Composer Biography
Schubert set the poetry of over 115 writers to music, drawing from classical Greece, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and various German authors.
Composition History
In 1816, Franz Schubert and his friends, including Joseph Spaun, attempted to publish a collection of his songs, sending a letter and examples to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the "Master of the German language."
