Irrespective of further biographical considerations, and on musical grounds alone, this symbiotic relationship places the Franz-Osterwald collaboration as one of the most fascinating in the history of the German lied and, until now, one of the most underestimated.\" - Graham Johnson. Robert Franz composed fifty-one varied and contrasting settings of love poems written by his close friend, Karl Wilhelm Osterwald, collected here for the first time in a new edition. The songs hint at the \"deep passion\" of 1837-1846, noted by Liszt. The themes of shame, secrecy, and self-sacrifice, make these bold, lyrical songs unique in the genre of 19th century German lieder. This illustrated volume also contains a fascinating body of new research, translations, discography and appendix of associated works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 362\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 11.69 x 8.27 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 15, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42743759962175,"sku":"9781916247703","price":80.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/d83f384004eca3ab81805ecb0fa7fda6.webp?v=1765165901","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-osterwald-liederbuch-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
