DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from My Favorite German Songs Early in 1906, I went for the first time to London, and since then I have divided my Winter Seasons between England and the Continent. With proud enthusiasm and with the greatest success, I presented the treasures of our noble German Lied in Paris, Moscow, Petrograd, and other European cities. I sang for the first time in America at Carnegie Hall, New York, January 9, 1912, which was followed by appearances in Boston and all the large cities as far as Denver. So warmly was I received, with so much sympathy and understanding, that on this my third American tour I have had the feeling of singing my songs not to an impersonal public but to dear friends. And to these friends I dedicate this collection of the finest pearls from my song treasure, with the hearty wish that it may serve to keep me in their memory.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA singer in an evening dress, a grand piano. A modest-sized audience, mostly well-dressed and silver-haired, equipped with translation booklets. A program consisting entirely of songs by one or two composers. This is the way of the Lieder recital these days. While it might seem that this style of performance is a long-standing tradition, German Song Onstage demonstrates that it is not. For much of the 19th century, the songs of Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, and Brahms were heard in the home, salon, and, no less significantly, on the concert platform alongside orchestral and choral works. A dedicated program was rare, a dedicated audience even more so. The Lied was a genre with both more private and more public associations than is commonly recalled. The contributors to this volume explore a broad range of venues, singers, and audiences in distinct places and time periods—including the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Germany—from the mid-19th century through the early 20th century. These historical case studies are set alongside reflections from a selection of today's leading musicians, offering insights on current Lied practices that will inform future generations of performers, scholars, and connoisseurs. Together these case studies unsettle narrow and elitist assumptions about what it meant and still means to present German song onstage by providing a transnational picture of historical Lieder performance, and opening up discussions about the relationship between history and performance today.
