Quote from: DavidW on Today at 06:25:04 AMA couple days ago I listened to this album:
And I really appreciated how much more intense and dramatic the 20th becomes in a driven, PI performance. This isn't polite music at tea time. This is storming the heavens! I loved it.
Quote from: Jo498 on March 20, 2024, 02:10:45 AMGute Nacht is the only long strophic song in the cycle but it has the last stanza in the major. The others are shorter and/or have more contrasts within (e.g. Die Post, Frühlingstraum). (I think the best option is variation within a mostly strophic form like in "Der Lindenbaum".)
Müllerin has more simple strophic songs, I think, and begins with a fairly trite strophic one ("Das Wandern" became a folksy popular song in Germany, although with a slightly changed melodic line), although the only long one is the last one (Des Baches Wiegenlied) where it might fit better.
This requires some creativity of the singer and the accompanist to make little differences "speak". E.g in Gute Nacht the "disappointed hope" in the first 2 returns to minor after major (eg. verses 7+8 vs. 5+6) and of course the last stanza in major.
