Published in October 1840 by Kistner, Myrthen, Op. 25, is dedicated to the composer's wife, Clara Schumann. Myrthen, or myrtles, are European evergreen shrubs with white or rosy flowers that are often used to make bridal wreaths. The 26 poems included were presented to Clara on the occasion of their wedding.
Unlike Dichterliebe of Frauenliebe und -leben, the texts of Myrthen are not by a single poet. Among them are eight poems in translation by Robert Burns (1759-96), five by Friedrich Rückert (1788-1866), and three each by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) and Heinrich Heine (1797-1856). The remaining seven are by Lord Byron, Thomas Moore, J. Mosen, and Catherine Fanshawe.
In the Myrthen collection of songs we find a clear contrast between Schumann's two musical personalities, "Florestan" and "Eusebius." Those in the "Florestan" style have a lively, confident character especially evident in Freisinn, Niemand, and the Hochländer lieder. Eusebius' more contemplative mood comes through in Mein Herz ist schwer and Was will die einsame Träne? Schumann also confronts numerous other emotions associated with love and marriage, such as devotion (Lied der Saleika and the two Lied der Braut), maternity (Im Westen, Hochländiches Wiegenlied), loneliness (Die Hochländer Witwe, Weit, weit) and bravery (Hauptmanns Weib). A few special gems are worth discussing in detail.
Heine's Du bist wie eine Blume (You are like a flower) receives Schumann's most ceremonial treatment. Set in A flat major, a key associated with wedding ceremonies, the song's repeated chords provide a stately foundation for the free, almost recitative-like declamation of the brief text. A flat major is also important as the key of the first and last songs of the collection.
Schumann confronts longing and separation in two of the songs, Der Nussbaum by Mosen, and Aus den östlichen Rosen by Rückert. Der Nussbaum is notable particularly for Schumann's integration of the piano part into the overall rhetoric of the song. The opening piano measures later become both the completions of vocal phrases and, before "Sie flüstern von einem Mägdlein," the beginning of the phrase. In both songs the piano depicts leaves fluttering in the wind -- In Der Nussbaum with constant arpeggios, in Aus den östlichen Rosen, with a rapid, quiet twisting figure -- while supporting a delicate, narrow-ranged voice part.
Schumann's setting of Byron's Rätsel is especially clever. The poem describes something without saying what it is. At the end is the question, "What is it?" Byron's answer is "a breeze," rendered in German as "Hauch." Schumann, however, omits this word from the text, leaving the piano to play the final note, a B natural -- an "H" in German.

There is no other Romantic composer quite like Schumann!!
Schumann sucks

Widmung: what beautiful music and wonderful words. Usually reduces me to tears when I think of Robert Schumann's so sad death.
Very true. Schumann's melody is sublime; if you like it, then the arrangement for solo piano and subsequent paraphrase made by Liszt of Widmung should move you in a similar manner: czcams.com/video/IfWh4XIovMs/video.html. It's amazing what these geniuses are capable of.
Bellísima
@@monicaisabelnordheimer1292 Yes, so very true.
Many years ago, I taught a very nice young lady called Monica [or was it Monika ?]. Anyhow, as one lover to another of this glorious song, let me [to quote from The Desiderata] remind you that you are a Child of the Universe.
Go in peace amiga- and be kind to yourself.

Rivals Schubert's song cycles in depth and beauty.
Yes, it certainly does.
Hello, thank you for uploading this piece. But I actually came from another of your videos - the Ballet version of Ravel's Ma Mere L'oye - which is apparently "no longer available" on youtube. This was one of my favorite versions of the song, and was great to see the score behind it as well. Just calling this to your attention in case it was accidentally deleted for some reason. And if you are able to, it would be really great if the piece was public on youtube again.
Hi! Thank you very much for the comment! I didn't know it was deleted.. I will upload it again in the next days :)
19:03 the opening two measures possibly quote 'Ama Tua Madre, O Tenero' from Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia (you could also hear that in Liszt's fantasy on the same opera).
"Esta colección con poemas de Goethe, Heine, Rickert, Byron y Burns, entre otros, de corte bastante popular, a veces; otras, muy cultistas, fué el regalo de bodas de Schumann a Clara el día en que se casaron".

43:49 reminds me of the second movement of the PC sometimes.
Who is the singer? Thx.
Ian Bostridge
Another upload off the bucket list.
