This week we officially began to study the Romantic era by studying the genre of lied, character pieces, and a symphonic work. Recalling the main ideas present last week ,the subject of many of these works included depictions of nature, love, or the self. Back tracking a bit to last where we left off Friday, the lied during this time emerges as an intimate genre. Most of the works composed under this framework were meant for common folk to enjoy in their own homes or in the semi-public

Franz Peter Schubert, born January 31, 1797, is accredited as one of the most gifted musicians of the 19th century (“SCHUBERT”), and is considered to be the last composer of the classical era and one of the first romantic composers (The Biography).

A Lied is written for only solo voice and piano, both the piano and voice have equal roles in telling the story.

Franz Schubert’s An den Mond no. 176 starts with flowing chords in the piano, a five-measure piano introduction and then a soft entry of the vocal line. An den Mond no. 116 starts with no piano introduction, rather the vocalist has the downbeat with the pianists left hand and the piece has started.
