The German lied, or art song, is considered one of the most
intimate of all musical genres-often focused on the poetic
speaker's inner world and best suited for private and semi-private
performance in the home or salon. Yet, problematically, any sense
of inwardness in lieder depends on outward expression through
performance. With this paradox at its heart, Intimacy, Performance,
and the Lied in the Early Nineteenth Century explores the
relationships between early nineteenth-century theories of the
inward self, the performance practices surrounding inward lyric
poetry and song, and the larger conventions determining the place
of intimate poetry and song in the public concert hall. Jennifer
Ronyak studies the cultural practices surrounding lieder
performances in northern and central Germany in the first quarter
of the nineteenth century, demonstrating how presentations of
lieder during the formative years of the genre put pressure on
their sense of interiority. She examines how musicians responded to
public concern that outward expression would leave the interiority
of the poet, the song, or the performer unguarded and susceptible
to danger. Through this rich performative paradox Ronyak reveals
how a song maintains its powerful intimacy even during its
inherently public performance.
