Volume 9 of the new Urtext edition of Schubert’s lieder contains lieder composed during the spring and summer of 1816, some of which follow upon series started in 1815. They are available in separate books for high, medium and low voice. The volume was completed by the eminent Schubert scholar Walter Dürr who passed away at the beginning of 2018.

It was in 1816 that Schubert completed his settings of Ossian's songs and added lieder on texts by Johann Georg Jacobi, Johann Peter Uz and Matthias Claudius. Also included are the lieder from the Grob family songbook. In summer 1816 Schubert produced his first settings of poems by Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart (“Grablied auf einen Soldaten” and “An mein Klavier”), the author of the words to one of his most famous songs “Die Forelle”/ “The Trout” (see Volume 2).

Do you know our performing edition of Schubert Lieder? 13 volumes containing the complete Lieder for solo voice and piano in editions for high, medium and low voice are planned. Nine of these volumes have already been published and provide the basis for this special sampler at a very special price. “A Taste of Schubert” presents one to three pieces from each volume to create a cross-section of Schubert’s complete lieder uvre. Lieder from his famous cycles are included as well as “Sehnsucht”, of which he wrote several settings.

Contrasting genres have also been taken into consideration, beginning with simple strophic songs, via the ballad “Der König von Thule” through to his long Ossian Lied “Cronnan”.
