Description:

This collection of essays by the most prominent scholars provides a fresh, intelligent look at the genre in which Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Wolf, Mahler, and Strauss composed some of their finest works. Each essay has been carefully edited to provide a detailed survey of the best current scholarship. In addition to the major composers, this book includes consideration of figures Loewe, Franz, Hensel, Liszt, and Cornelius who are frequently neglected in surveys of the genre. Additional essays discuss German poetry, the song cycle, and performance practice.
