Robert Schumann (1810-1856) is one of the foremost early Romantic composers. His contribution to the Lied repertoire is celebrated not only for the sheer volume of songs in his output, but also for the range of expression he achieves through subtle musical settings and a keen literary sensibility.
The goal of this edition is to provide vocalists and guitarists with an accurate transcription of Dichterliebe, an exceptional work rarely performed with the guitar. Every effort was made to retain all the original keys, voicings and interpretative markings from Schumann’s score, in order to facilitate the development of a faithful and informed performance.
