THE DEUTSCHE SCHUBERT-LIED-EDITIONIn 1816 Franz Schubert, together with his circle of friends,decided to publish a collection of all the songs which he had so far written.Joseph Spaun, whom Schubert had known since his school days, tried his (andSchubert's) luck in a letter to the then unquestioned Master of the Germanlanguage, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:A selection of German songs will constitute the beginning ofthis edition; it will consist of eight volumes. The first two (the first ofwhich, as an example, you will find in our letter) contains poems written byyour Excellency, the third, poetry by Schiller, the fourth and fifth, works byKlopstock, the sixth by Mathison, Holty, Salis etc., the seventh and eighthcontain songs by Ossian, whose works are quite exceptional.The Deutsche Schubert-Lied-Edition follows the composer'soriginal concept. All Schubert's Lieder, over 700 songs, will be groupedaccording to the poets who inspired him, or according to the circle of writers,contemporaries, members of certain literary movements and so on, whose worksSchubert chose to set to music. Fragments and alternative settings, providingtheir length and quality make them worth recording, and works for two or morevoices with piano accompaniment will also make up a part of the edition.Schubert set the poetry of over 115 writers to music. Heselected poems from classical Greece, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, fromeighteenth-century German authors, early Romantics, Biedermeier poets, hiscontemporaries, and, of course, finally, poems by Heinrich Heine, althoughsadly the two never met.The entire edition is scheduled for completion by  2006. Thanks to the Neue SchubertAusgabe (New Schubert Edition), published by Barenreiter, which uses primarysources - autograph copies wherever possible - the performers have been able tobenefit from the most recent research of the editorial team. For the firsttime, the listener and the interested reader can follow Schubert's textualalterations and can appreciate the importance the written word had for thecomposer.The project's Artistic Advisor is the pianist UlrichEisenlohr, who has chosen those German-speaking singers who represent the eliteof today's young German Lieder singers, performers whose artistic contribution,he believes, will stand the test of time.Franz Peter Schubert (1797-1828)Songs for male voice to texts by GoetheA small step for the man and musician, but a great step formusic-lovers would be a possible view of Schubert's setting of Erlkonig, D328,probably written in October 1815, both from the point of view of the composer'sown life and that of the history of music. As an inspired 'small step', Josefvon Spaun later related: 'We found Schubert full of enthusiasm, reading theErlkonig out aloud from the book. He often walked up and down with the book,suddenly sat down, and in the shortest time, as quickly as one can just write,there was the glorious ballad on paper'. Nevertheless if one consults the workof res
