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 2005.Thanks to the Neue Schubert Ausgabe (New Schubert Edition), published byBarenreiter, which uses primary sources - autograph copies wherever possible -the performers have been able to benefit from the most recent research of theeditorial team. For the first time, the listener and the interested reader canfollow Schubert's textual alterations and can appreciate the importance thewritten word had for the composer.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)Settings of poems by Schubert's friends, Vol. 2The short period of Schubert's life was marked byrevolutionary political and social events of fundamental importance. The idealsof the French Revolution, liberty, equality and fraternity, had establishedthemselves in people's minds. Neither the radicalisation and perversion of theevents in France itself (the bloodthirsty Terror of Robespierre, and later thecoronation of Napoleon as Emperor), nor the war that followed until Napoleon'sRussian campaign, could alter that. Rather it seemed to pave the way for a turnfor the better. Thousands enthusiastically volunteered to take part in the warsof libera
