Excited to state a new series!

[@zacharascervus]

Yesss! I hoped for this after "Die Schöne Müllerin" :) Looking forward!

[@masyarrahmanzadeh]

Great work of analysis: please more of the lieder and works of Schubert, Schumann, Mahler, Wolf and Frank..🙏🏻

[@sonatahewrote]

More from Winterreise coming quite soon, I hope to get to everyone you mentioned eventually

Interesting! I’ve only just started listening to more classical art songs, and I’m fascinated! Looking forward to the rest of this series, and I’ll be checking out your videos on Die Schöne Müllerin, too! Do you know of any other excellent introductory art songs/art song composers, or any textbooks on the process of setting poetry to music like this? I’d greatly appreciate any recommendations!

[@sonatahewrote]

Thanks for your comment! I’m not really aware of any textbooks regarding art song composition specifically. But as for other song cycles, you might check out Beethoven’s a die Ferne Geliebte, or either of Schumann’s cycles. You almost can’t do better than just taking out and examining any of Schubert’s many famous songs though

[@dodososese3340]

@@sonatahewrote I’ll check them out, thanks!

I hoped you'd go over Winterreise or Schwanengesang after your Die Schöne Müllerin series.
