These new songbooks contain only a few favourite songs from Die Schöne Müllerin and Die Wintereisse, rather than the rarely-used entire song cycles; this leaves room for many more wonderful individual songs not normally found in Schubert collections.

Inspired by the verse of the German romantic poets, Franz Schubert achieved glittering fame as a creator of the 19th-century lied long before public recognition of his symphonies assured his place in music.

This book contains a selection of Schubert's songs, ranging from the very popular to the lesser known. It is intended as a singer's introduction to his extraordinarily expresive language.
