Organized in five parts, this Companion enhances understanding of
Schubert's Winterreise by approaching it from multiple angles. Part
I examines the political, cultural, and musical environments in
which Winterreise was created. Part II focuses on the poet Wilhelm
Muller, his 24-poem cycle Die Winterreise, and changes Schubert
made to it in fashioning his musical setting. Part III illuminates
Winterreise by exploring its relation to contemporaneous
understandings of psychology and science, and early
nineteenth-century social and political conditions. Part IV focuses
more directly on the song cycle, exploring the listener's
identification with the cycle's protagonist, text-music relations
in individual songs, Schubert's compositional 'fingerprints',
aspects of continuity and discontinuity among the songs, and the
cycle's relation to German Romanticism. Part V concentrates on
Winterreise in the nearly two centuries since its completion in
1827, including lyrical and dramatic performance traditions, the
cycle's influence on later composers, and its numerous artistic
reworkings.
