1840 was
Schumann's famous
“year of
song†that brought
forth over 100 lieder.
They included Myrthen op.
25, which he dedicated
“to his dear
bride,†Clara
Wieck-Schumann. Besides
famous songs such as
“Widmung,â€
“Lotosblumeâ€
and
“Nussbaum†to
texts by German poets,
the collection also saw
Schumann venture further
afield, whether to the
Scottish Highlands with
settings of Robert Burns
or to Italy for the
“Venetian
Songs†of Thomas
Moore. Schumann
specialist Kazuko Ozawa
has examined the first
edition of 1840 and all
the manuscript sources.
Among the dedicatory
autograph copies she has
also discovered
interesting early
versions of individual
songs that are here
published in an appendix.
Our Urtext edition is
rounded off with an
extensive history of how
Myrthen was composed.
This volume is a
superlative addition to
G. Henle VerlagÂ’s
series of Robert
Schumann's song
cycles.
