Neue Liebeslieder, Op.65

Více o knize

The book presents a collection of 14 songs by Brahms, inspired by German folk-poems from George Friedrich Daumer's Polydora, along with a conclusion set to Goethe's poem "Zum Schluss." Composed between 1869 and 1874, it includes solo voice numbers interspersed with four-voiced settings. The first complete performance occurred in 1875, with a notable orchestration of No. 9 by Ernst Rudorff. This edition features a new orchestration by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr., while retaining Brahms' original orchestration for the early version of No. 9.
