'How pleasing to see that the lied merits its own volume in this attractively presented series from CUP' The Schubertian
'... a fine addition to the material written on this subject, and I do recommend it highly.' Piano Professional
Book Description
Several generations before Schubert, the Lied emerged as domestic entertainment destined to move beyond the home to the symphony hall. This introductory chronicle of this fascinating genre analyzes the Lied in its musical, literary, and cultural contexts--with chapters devoted to focal composers; influence of the Lied on other musical genres; use as a musical commodity and issues of performance. The volume includes a chronology and a comprehensive bibliography.
