How does Schubert's Erlking capture the strangeness and wonder of Goethe's ballad?
I am only vaguely familiar with this morbid song-cycle as it is called and cannot fathom why or wherefore it was even allowed to pass the censor. it has, of course strangeness and wonder (as do the works of Poe) but the whole thing is downbeat and would, needless to say, be consigned to the circular file if considered as a plot device for a television show or comic book. I never could understand the reason why the morbid death of a child theme had any currency-except perhaps in crime fiction based on such senseless crimes as the Ramsay affair and sickening(family-plan) Homicides. Child abuse is bad enough as it is. In both the so-called Sacrifice of Abraham (in the Bible, not Lincoln!) and William Tell-which appears to be a take-off with political overtones rather than religious the child survives. what is the point. one seemingly common thread in some or most of these stories is the kid"s mother is not around! Daddy the destroyer or monster, the Savage side in humankind. Don"t llike it.

What is the form of schubert piano sonata d. 840?
I'ld ask you to take more correct your question.First of all: D.840 is not a full-completed opus, but the two first movements are ready, and the Menuet is almost completed.
So the four-mouvement cycle intention is the standard one, neither change in the order of the parts, nor experimental shape in a proper movement.
If you notice only the first movement, however it is a sonata form, with some unusual station in tonality, especially in that section, that is called secondary theme section.
Does somebody know the translation for Schubert Totus in corde lanqueo?
Because I am Dutch I cannot give you a perfect English translation, but it should approximately be thus:
With whole my heart I languish for Thee,
I am burning with love for God,
I am burning with divine love,
I am totally languishing.
I will never cease from this,
I will always love.
By this holy fire
I will kindle my soul.
Neither the underworld will deter me,
nor will heaven separate me
from the love of Christ*.
*This refers to St. Paul's letter to the Romans, ch. 8, 35-39
This is the text in Latin:
Totus in corde langueo
amore Dei ardeo,
amore divino ardeo,
totus langueo.
Nunquam cessabo
sed semper amabo,
Hoc sacro igne
animam inflammabo.
Nec tartarus me deterrebit,
nec coelum separabit
a caritate Christi.
Lau Kanen
