Franz Schubert's song cycles "Schone Mullerin" and "Winterreise"
are cornerstones of the genre. But as Richard Kramer argues in this
book, Schubert envisioned many other songs as components of
cyclical arrangements that were never published as such. By
carefully studying Schubert's original manuscripts, Kramer recovers
some of these "distant cycles" and accounts for idiosyncrasies in
the songs which other analyses have failed to explain.
Returning the songs to their original keys, Kramer reveals linkages
among songs which were often obscured as Schubert readied his
compositions for publication. His analysis thus conveys even
familiar songs in fresh contexts that will affect performance,
interpretation, and criticism. After addressing problems of
multiple settings and revisions, Kramer presents a series of briefs
for the reconfiguring of sets of songs to poems by Goethe,
Rellstab, and Heine. He deconstructs "Winterreise," using its
convoluted origins to illuminate its textual contradictions.
Finally, Kramer scrutinizes settings from the "Abendrote" cycle (on
poems by Friedrich Schlegel) for signs of cyclic process. Probing
the farthest reaches of Schubert's engagement with the poetics of
lieder, "Distant Cycles" exposes tensions between Schubert the
composer and Schubert the merchant-entrepreneur.
