| Added by magataganm, 27 Sep 2023 Franz Peter Schubert (1797 – 1828) was an Austrian composer of the late Classical and early Romantic eras. Despite his short life, Schubert left behind a vast oeuvre, including more than 600 secular vocal works (mainly lieder), seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music, and a large body of piano and chamber music. His major works include the art song "Erlkönig" , the Piano Trout Quintet in A major, the unfinished Symphony No. 8 in B minor, the "Great" Symphony No. 9 in C major, a String Quintet, the three last piano sonatas, the opera Fierrabras, the incidental music to the play Rosamunde, and the song cycles Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise. He was remarkably prolific, writing over 1,500 works in his short career. His compositional style progressed rapidly throughout his short life. The largest number of his compositions are songs for solo voice and piano (roughly 630). Schubert also composed a considerable number of secular works for two or more voices, namely part songs, choruses and cantatas. He completed eight orchestral overtures and seven complete symphonies, in addition to fragments of six others. While he composed no concertos, he did write three concertante works for violin and orchestra. Schubert wrote a large body of music for solo piano, including eleven incontrovertibly completed sonatas and at least eleven more in varying states of completion, numerous miscellaneous works and many short dances, in addition to producing a large set of works for piano four hands. He also wrote over fifty chamber works, including some fragmentary works. Schubert's sacred output includes seven masses, one oratorio and one requiem, among other mass movements and numerous smaller compositions. He completed only eleven of his twenty stage works. Schubert set the poem "An den Mond" (To the Moon) twice and each is a masterpiece in is own right. Although the first, strophic, version of 1815 is blessed with an enchanting melody Schubert probably felt the need four years later (this second version is undated but recent paper studies have revealed that it is most likely a work from 1819) to create something more complex to mirror the shifting moods of the poem. This is melancholy music, yet sweetly tender, and by some musical alchemy suffused with the silvery glow of moonlight. Schubert is almost always fond of strong bass lines which support and buoy up the vocal line, but here he changes his rules: the voice part floats free, unanchored, aspiring upwards, seldom touching the tonic. The piano's right hand doubles the voice, normally an unwise practice, but here it aids beautifully the communing of the poet below with the moon above. He then addresses the stream—it is probable that Goethe wrote the poem after a friend's suicide in the Ilm near his own house in Weimar. The water, like time, flows inexorably, changing or destroying all in its path, and in this setting (unlike the first) we hear this water journey in turbulent modulations. Only a true friend, the poet says, can understand his mingled emotions. The final stanza of the song depicts this longed-for intimacy in a miraculous way. The moon continues to shine in the piano part while the singer buries his head in the lap of the music and the vocal line delves beneath the surface. The ineffable distance between lunar serenity and the dark labyrinthine torments of the heart is measured in a vocal span of nearly two octaves.
