Schubert: The Complete Song Texts
by Richard WigmoreThis is a complete collection of Franz Schubert's solo songs in German originals with English translations. A small number are in Italian with English translations. Schubert's songs are the most frequently performed of the whole vocal repertoire, and, for many people, the best loved. They range from the very short--lasting barely two minutes--to immensely long ballads, and scenas which are virtually cantatas. Schubert was among the most prolific of composers, having written (in addition to a large output of symphonies, sonatas, quartets, masses and operas) more than 600 songs by the time of his death in 1828 at the age of 31. Almost all his songs are settings of German poetry, but a few use Italian words, and the texts of several are German translations of English poetry and prose by Sir Walter Scott, Shakespeare, James Macpherson (Ossian) and others. Schubert composed more than a hundred settings of Goethe, the greatest of all German poets, and many of these are among the finest and best loved of his songs. But he also set the work of other major German poets of the 18th and early 19th centuries. The most famous of the songs have appeared in previously published volumes of Lieder texts, such as The Penguin Books of Lieder and The Fischer-Dieskau Book of Lieder; but more and more, these days, singers are discovering the beauties of the less familiar songs, and adding them to concert programmes and recordings. This book fulfils the growing need for parallel texts and translations of all the songs, and is the first in its field. The prose translations, keeping as close as possible to the originals, are most sympathetic, and readable in their own right, and will be invaluable to the singer with little or no German, as well as a delight to the many music-lovers who listen to these songs on radio, on record and at concerts. This electronic edition is formatted with a line of English translation below each line of German original and is DAISY formatted with each song at level 1.

Mozart's Women: His Family, His Friends, His Music
by Jane Glover[From the dust jacket:] "Throughout his life, Mozart was inspired, fascinated, amused, aroused, hurt, disappointed and betrayed by women--and he was equally complex to them. But, first and last, Mozart loved and respected women. His mother, his sister, his wife, her sisters, and his female patrons, friends, lovers and fellow artists all figure prominently in his life. And his experience, observation and understanding of women reappear, spectacularly, in the characters he created. As one of our finest interpreters of Mozart's work, Jane Glover is perfectly placed to bring these remarkable women--both real and dramatized--vividly to life. We meet Mozart's mother, Maria Anna and his beloved and devoted sister, Nannerl, perhaps as talented as her brilliant brother but, owing to her sex, destined to languish at home while Wolfgang and their father entertained the drawing rooms of Europe. We meet, too, Mozart's "other family"--his in-laws, the Webers: Constanze, his wife, much maligned by history, and her sisters, Aloysia, Sophie and Josefa. Aloysia and Josefa were highly talented singers for whom Mozart wrote some of his most remarkable music. Aloysia was the first woman whom Mozart truly and passionately loved, and her eventual rejection of him nearly broke his heart. Constanze, though a less gifted singer, proved a steadfast and loving wife and--after Mozart's death--his extremely efficient widow, consolidating his reputation and ensuring that his most enduring legacy, his music, never be forgotten. Mozart's Women is their story. But it is also the story of the women in his operas, all of whom were--like his sister, his mother, his wife and his entire female acquaintance--restrained by the conventions and strictures of eighteenth-century society. Yet through his glorious writing, he identified and released the emotions of his characters. Constanze in Die Entführung aus dem servil; Ilia and Elettra in Idomeneo; Susanna and the Countess in le mozze di Figaro; Donnas Anna and Elvira in Don Giovanni; Fiordiligi, Dorabella and Despina in Così fan tutte; Pamina and the Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte: are all examined and celebrated. They hold up the mirror to their audiences and offer inestimable insight, together constituting yet further proof of Mozart's true genius and phenomenal understanding of human nature. Rich, evocative and compellingly readable, Mozart's Women illuminates the music and the man--but, above all, the women who inspired him."
