What is a lieder by Schubert?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A lied is a 19th century song with piano accompaniment set to German poetry. The greatest exponents of this form were Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, and Wolf although there are plenty of others like Mozart, Beethoven, Loewe, and Franz, and there were lieder still being written in the 20th Century by people like Richard Strauss, Mahler and Schoenberg. The basic idea is that the piano part is not strictly just an accompaniment but an equal partner with the singer. The piano part can often very effectively imitate the words or ideas that the poetry is suggesting - as in, for instance, 'Erlkonig' by Schubert where the piano sounds like the galloping of the horse that the singer is telling us about.

No. He was restricted by the marriage laws at the time which stipulated that the man had to have the means to properly support a family. Schubert, at that time, had not secured a good enough paying position to meet the marriage laws.

Describe story that is told in franz schubert's E rlking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Erlking is about a father and son who are riding home on a horse and the Erlking, who is like a mythical seductive elf. The song has rapid repeated octaves in triplets in the piano, which represent the horse's hooves. The Erlking is trying to convince the child to come with him and in fear, the child pleads with his father to protect him. The father, who cannot see or hear the Erlking, reassures his son that everthing is alright. The Erlking tells the child that they can play games and that his daughters can take care of the child. The child becomes more and more terrified and his dad will not take him seriously. The song ends with the father riding into the courtyard with the child dead in his arms.

Nella calma della sera

vien la mia canzon

Una perfida preghiera

calda di passion

Della luna nel candour

preme il bosco ner

E prepara il nostro amore

l'ombra ed il mister

L'ombra ed il mister.

Il suo canto appassionato

sciolse l'usignol

Le mie pene ha Gia provato

soffre de mio duol

Per l'incanto di quest'ora

ch'ei mi voul ridir:

"Tutto a te d'amor favela,

cess ail tuo rigor,

chi la vita di favela …. E soltanto amor …..

E soltanto amor ….. Soltanto amor"

Leise flehen meine Lieder

Durch die Nacht zu dir

In dem stillen Hain hernieder

Liebster komm zu mir

Flüsternd schlanke Wipfel rauschen

In des Mondes Licht

In des Mondes Licht

Willst mein liebend Herz du lauschen

Warte Liebster nicht

Warte Liebster nicht

Hörst die Nachtigallen schlagen

Ach sie flehen dich

Mit der Töne süßen Klagen

Flehen sie für mich

Sie verstehn des Busens Sehnen

Kennen Liebesschmerz

Kennen Liebesschmerz

Rühren mit den Silbertönen

Jedes weiche Herz

Jedes weiche Herz

Lass auch dir das Herz bewegen

Liebster höre mich

Bebend harr ich dir entgegen

Komm beglücke mich

Komm beglücke mich

Beglücke mich

What is schubert franz major contribution to music?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Beethoven was one of the first composers to move from the notion that a musician was a servant and produced powerful individualistic music, not necessarily what his patron had requested. He catered to the tastes of a rising middle class in a time of great social upheaval in Europe and possibly contributed to birth of the Romantic Era.

How many symphonys did Franz Schubert do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He wrote 9 symphonies, the most famous being the 8th, or 'unfinished' symphony, which was actually completed after the 9th or the 'Great', which is the other most famous of his symphonies.

Correction: He wrote the "unfinished" before the "Great" - and never finished it. He began a third movement, but went on to other projects. The symphony was discovered many years after his death.

There are also many who claim Schubert wrote only 7 completed Symphonies + the "unfinished." The Great C Major used to be listed as #7 until they realized it was written after the b minor (the 8th.) And so they renumbered it #9. So now there's no #7. (In fact, there are Schubert symphony sets which list the "unfinished" as #7 and the C Major as #8!)
Believe it or not, Schubert wrote over 600 songs.

Who owns the copyrightAve maria by franz schubert?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Publishers for the most part. Music that is reprinted contains a new copyright year ... so another 70 years must pass before it becomes public domain. But if the copyright is renewed (perhaps another printing) then the 70 years easily becomes 140 years before it is no longer copyrighted.

The works themselves are in the public domain, although certain editions, performances, recordings, and arrangements may have their own copyrights.
