  • Book Description

    Schumann's famous song cycle Dichterliebe of 1840 is one of the most enigmatic works in the Western musical repertoire. This book employs Romantic poetics as well as recent critical thought as means for understanding the mysterious magnetism of this essentially fragmentary work. A musico-poetic analysis demonstrates the voice of the 'Other' and presents Schumann as the 'second poet of the poem' when setting Heine's famous Lyrisches Intermezzo. Methodologically, it is an attempt to introduce into musicology a hermeneutic that seeks to synthesise philosophical, literary-critical, music-analytical and psycho-analytical modes of thought.
