I'd never heard a noticeable accelerando at the 3:30 part, so I had to go back and actually check the music to see if it was even a thing. Turns out it is, you just never hear it actually performed, because it's Erlkonig and by that point in the piece even the most proficient of accompanists' hands are melting off. Ms. Fuller is an absolute savage of a pianist.

@markhedman18843 жыл бұрын
Yes, I went back to the score and there is an accelerando. This piece really needs a good accompanist. This accompanist has such facile octaves, and at that point plays louder and faster with even more ferocity.

I took a music appreciation class 2 semesters ago and as soon as we heard this song, I was hooked. More specifically, it was this singer that we listened to. Such a tragic story. It gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. Especially when he starts singing the Erlkonig parts. This song appeared in a dream once, and it completely turned it into a nightmare. I didn't hardly sleep the rest of the night. Such a beautiful rendition of the poem.

The pianist in this performance is Amazing. Her emphasis of dynamics, her effective implementation of the pedal, and her steady execution of accents (even on those 16th note chords) is particularly impressive. The vocalist on the other hand does an excellent job with dynamics and voices (acting out the Erlking, the boy, and the Father), but his accents at the beginning of the piece are lax which makes the piece loose some of its feeling.

The Erlking Who rides so lately through night and wind? It's the father with his child; He's got the boy in his arm, He holds him safely, he keeps him warm. "My son, why do you hide your face so anxiously?" "Don't you see the Erlking, father? The Erlking with crown and coat?"1 "My son, it's a streak of fog." "You lovely child, come, come with me! I'll play oh so beautiful games with you; There are a couple of colorful flowers near the shore, My mother has a couple of golden robes." "My father, my father, and don't you hear, What the Erlking promises silently?" "Be quiet, stay calm, my child; The wind rustles through withered leaves." "Do you, good boy, want to come with me? My daughters shall take care of you nicely; My daughters lead the nightly dance, And lull and dance and sing you to sleep." "My father, my father, and don't you see there Erlking's daughters at the gloomy place?" "My son, my son, I see it clearly: It seems to be the old grey willows." "I love you, I'm fascinated by your beautiful form; And if you're not willing, I'll have to use force." "My father, my father, now he is grabbing me! Erlking has hurt me!" The father shudders, he rides swiftly, He holds the groaning child in his arms, Reaches his home with effort and distress; The child in his arms was dead. It's not really clear what exactly "Schweif" means in this context. The literal translation would be "tail", but I'd rather say it's about the end of his coat.

@headhunter19453 жыл бұрын
Schweif is an interesting word to use here, and perhaps we should take a moment to nod to the genius of the composer, Goethe. "Krone und Schweif" is normally translated as "Crown and train," presumably in the sense of a cloak or robe. This satisfies the technical meaning of Schweif. However, two or three other things are notable. First, while that is accurate, Schweif is also commonly used to describe the tail of either an animal or a comet, which imagery lends either a bestial or supernatural air to the alder-king. Second, and this probably adds a very sinister undertone to adult German listeners (but is more speculative,) a very similar word that also means tail (in a more literal sense), Schwanz, in German is a common, rude euphemism for male genitalia. Since the alder-king is a fantasy creature, I don't think there is a definitive answer, but Goethe's choice of the word was perfect given all possible meanings, and I would wager he intended to invoke all of the possibilities at once in the reader even while describing a robe. I think if I were going to translate it to imagery, I would go with a sort of fey aura, like that of the afore-mentioned comet, while giving the alder-king himself slight animalistic features - cat's eyes and so on. The sinister intent should speak for itself from the actor's bearing and facial expression.
