Are you implying that retrospective contextualization doesn't happen, or is illegitimate?
But as each verse continues the harmony is obscured, sounding much more unstable and like F# minor. Press J to jump to the feed. No, of course not. However, if one is sophisticated enough to do that, one really ought to be sophisticated enough to perceive the fatal deficiencies of the chord model itself and abandon it in favor of the line model.
As a whole, the piece is mapped out in a clear strophic form. Dichterliebe is therefore an integral artistic work apart from the Lyrisches Intermezzo, though derived from it and inspired by it. Not sure what this means either. Which of the following does NOT describe Schumann’s In the lovely month of May? Dichterliebe, "A Poet's Love" (composed 1840), is the best-known song cycle of Robert Schumann (Op.
The 65 poems follow, of which the 16 of the Dichterliebe are a selection.
Posted on my "real" blog rather than my Tumblr scratchpad, not only because that was where the original discussion of the piece was, but also because it summarizes a number of general insights and evolutions of viewpoint that I have experienced since then. How much do I agree with myself? I'm saying that's not a good objection, because even if technically true, the character of chord theory is such that you would never have thought to formulate that interpretation if you didn't already know about Schenkerian theory (hence, "peeking at your opponent's answers"). Author of the sarcastic Die Romantische Schule, Heine was a vocal critic of German romanticism, though he himself is often described as a quintessentially Romantic writer. Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. It’s amazing how he’s able to so perfectly capture the many positive and negative feelings of love through music, especially music as simple on the surface as this. Change ), “Im wunderschönen Monat Mai” (“In the lovely month of May”): Piece Review, Survey of Music Literature – Spring 2015 Blog. Not sure I agree with this. Read about "In The Lovely Month Of May," From A Poet's Love by Robert Schumann and see the artwork, lyrics and similar artists. In each one, G# is the extreme or outer note (in the first and last case g#'', in the middle g#'). Where's the evidence for this oddly-specific assumption? If you take F# as the more basic note, then it acts like a harmonically-supported upper neighbor to the E#. The whole point of this passage was that I was criticizing chord theory precisely for not admitting the concept of structural levels! text wise?
False. There are three gestures in the background model: c#''-b'-g#''-c#'', (c#'')-b'-g#'-a, and c#''-b'-c#''-d''-e''-f#''-g#''-c#''-b'. These could also be read as smaller reflections of the two larger upper embellishments in this passage: the C# decorating the B, and the IV6 - V harmonic neighbor. Schumann adapts the words of the poems to his needs for the songs, sometimes repeating phrases and often rewording a line to supply the desired cadence.
), I'm not even 100% sure what your alternative explanation of the G# is, to be honest. I don't understand what the specific connection is, other than that. Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. Play, sing, or imagine both versions. I don't understand what this means. Do you just mean to point out that G# happens in three places in the background? Coming up with an arpeggio and then elaborating it with a passing tone makes more intuitive sense than coming up with f#''-e#-c#'' and then deciding to elaborate f#'' with an upper neighbor because you're also going to elaborate a bunch of other things with upper neighbors later. ( Log Out / Unclear. This critique doesn't work: You're not taking account of the possibility of different levels. Unlike Schenkerian theory, chord theory does not admit the concept of structural levels -- at least beyond the two-tiered hierarchy of "part of the chord" and "not part of the chord". “Im wunderschönen Monat Mai” (“In the lovely month of May”) is a brief but evocative song written by Robert Schumann, one of the great composers of German Lied, in 1840. Which version do you like better?
Though Schumann originally set 20 songs to Heine's poems, only 16 of the 20 compositions were included in the first edition.
TRUE/FALSE 1. Das Buch der Lieder was given its second edition, with preface from Paris, in 1837, the songs were composed in 1840, and the first edition of Dichterliebe was published in two volumes by Peters, in Leipzig, 1844. If our two-note-per-measure model showed f#” instead of g#”, we would be at a loss to “explain why” Schumann chose to elaborate this f#” with g#”; it would appear to be a considerably more arbitrary decision, one of the grand (or possibly less grand) mysteries of artistic genius. Change ), You are commenting using your Twitter account. Auf Flügeln des Gesanges, On Wings of Song (Heine no 9), is best known from a setting of Felix Mendelssohn's). It tells a detailed story of a lost love. Who's facing him with that argument? This catastrophe is slightly reminiscent of Schubert's Die schöne Müllerin, in which the hero ends by drowning himself in the brook which he has followed through the cycle.
what kind of “non-chord tone” is the a#? Which, one cannot help noticing, is what he actually wrote. How has my theoretical outlook changed? What is the form of In the lovely month of May? The other argument I give follows immediately in the next sentence: More locally than that, of course, we also have the arpeggio g#”-e#”-c#” instead of f#”-e#”-c#”, in which f#” is a purposeless note that lacks connection to the c#”.
