Few if any composers equalled Schumann in the breadth of his literary taste. His reading encompassed the major figures of European literature in German translation, as Die Weinende, a setting of Byron in his Jugendlieder collection, amply illustrates. The three sets of Lieder und Ges�nge in this volume are among his most expressive, the earliest dating from his magical �year of song� of 1840. They take as their subject matter a panoply of romantic concerns: love of nature, the changing of the seasons, parting from one�s beloved, the allure of mermaids, as well as more cheerful strophic songs. This is the final volume in this acclaimed series.
