One of the most important aspects of Franz Schubert's song
production has remained relatively neglected: the many occasions on
which he set poetry to music more than once. This practice of
returning to poems, and responding to them anew, is unusual and
suggests a greater degree of literary sensitivity on the part of
Schubert than is often ascribed to him. In contrast to his
similarly frequent tendency to produce revised versions of songs,
Schubert's resetting of poetry results in completely new songs. The
presence of residues of earlier settings in later ones prompts
consideration of the degree to which resettings are to some extent
'radical revisions' of their predecessors. It also raises questions
as to what those residues might signify about how and why Schubert
reset poetry. Nowhere are such issues more fascinatingly and
comprehensively illustrated than in Schubert's multiple settings of
the poet who was more important to him than any other: Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe. In recent years, a renewed interest in the
relationship between Goethe and Schubert has demonstrated that the
two men had more in common than has historically been supposed. A
specific bond between them lies in Goethe's recognition that his
poems could be read in more than one way. Re-reading Poetry
uncovers an important shared outlook between composer and poet.
