Schubert's Late Lieder is a study of selected songs for voice and
piano composed by Schubert between 1822 and his death on 19
November 1828. Circa late 1822, Schubert was diagnosed with
syphilis, and many of the songs discussed in this book were written
under the seal of impending death. It is possible to locate in
these songs a 'late song style', full of elegiac references to
Schubert's other death-haunted works and marked by distinctive
variation techniques. The songs on poems by Schubert's Austrian
contemporaries are less well known than they should be, and yet the
backdrop to these works is often fascinating. In this book, Susan
Youens introduces the poets Matthaus von Collin, Johann Ladislaus
Pyrker, Carl Gottfried Ritter von Leitner, Johann Anton Friedrich
Reil, Franz von Schlechta, and Johann Gabriel Seidl and discusses
Schubert's songs to their poetry, revealing much about the poet and
about Austrian history and culture.
