Condition: Fair. "For me the sovereign principle in art is rigorous, harsh and inexorable truth, truth to the point of cruelty." -- Hugo Wolf In 1888, in a splendid outpouring of creativity, Austrian composer Hugo Wolf (1860-1903) composed 53 songs set to work of the German poet Eduard Mörike. The suddenness, spontaneity, and productiveness of this period in Wolf's life has been likened to similar songwriting outbursts by Schubert in 1814-15 and Schumann in 1840-41. Although Wolf composed in other forms, his fame rests almost entirely on his songs. Highly original, intuitive, intensely dramatic, Wolf's musical interpretations perfectly matched Mörike's complex, quasi-symbolic style. In addition to a superb awareness of verbal rhythm and vocal inflections, Wolf also brought a delicacy of psychological insight to his compositions that made the song "a reincarnation of the poem in another medium." The present volume contains all 53 of the Mörike songs, Wolf's complete treatment of the poet, reproduced from the 2nd revised Heckel edition. Stanley Appelbaum has provided new literal prose translations of the lyrics, as well as alphabetical lists of song titles and openings, and a glossary of German musical terms. Songs include: Der Genesene an die Hoffnung; Im Frühling; Lebe wohl; Der Tambour; Auf ein altes Bild; Der Jäger; Fussreise; Charwoche; Der Feuerreiter; Verborgenheit; Neue Liebe; Gesang Weyla's; Elfenlied; Frage und Antwort; Auftrag; and 38 more. Wolf's lieder rank at the very summit of the genre. As the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians notes: "He intensified the expressive vocabulary of the lied to a pitch never since surpassed. By his musical sensitivity to poetic values and meanings which he embodied in each separate aspect of the song . he was able, like Schubert before him, to condense the dramatic intensity of opera into the song form." Lovers of lieder have long sought a convenient, comprehensive, inexpensive edition of all 53 Mörike songs. They will find it here, in a sturdily bound, clearly reproduced, permanent volume -- a fitting tribute to Wolf's status as a supreme master of the art song.…

Condition: Good. In the opinion of many critics, Hugo Wolf (1860-1903) brought the 19th century German lied to its highest development. His more than 300 songs exhibit, in Donald Jay Grout's words, an infinite variety of fine psychological and musical details. Wolf continued the German Romantic tradition of the solo song with piano accompaniment, while, influenced by Wagner, he sought a new equality of relationship between music and words. The result was an original and dramatic fusion of music and poetry in which neither was sacrificed to the other.This volume contains two of the composer's most celebrated song collections. The Spanisches Liederbuch of 44 songs -- largely religious or erotic -- consists of settings of translations from Cervantes, Lope de Vega, and others. The Italienisches Liederbuch comprises 46 songs, full of masterly invention, set to Paul Heyse's polished translations of anonymous Italian poems dating back to the 16th century and earlier.Reproduced from an authoritative C. F. Peters edition, these songs include many acknowledged masterpieces by a composer often compared to Schumann and Schubert in the quality and quantity of his lieder. Now devotees of art songs, admirers of Wolf's music, or any music lover can enjoy 90 of his finest lieder in this inexpensive edition and experience the continuous discovery of new delights that study of the scores can bring.…
