{"product_id":"the-osterwald-liederbuch-robert-franz-9781916247703","title":"The Osterwald Liederbuch","description":"\"... the more one listens to this music the more clear it seems that the intimate alchemy binding these words and music together is potentiated by nothing less than love - however one chooses to understand that word. Irrespective of further biographical considerations, and on musical grounds alone, this symbiotic relationship places the Franz-Osterwald collaboration as one of the most fascinating in the history of the German lied and, until now, one of the most underestimated.\" - Graham Johnson. Robert Franz composed fifty-one varied and contrasting settings of love poems written by his close friend, Karl Wilhelm Osterwald, collected here for the first time in a new edition. The songs hint at the \"deep passion\" of 1837-1846, noted by Liszt. The themes of shame, secrecy, and self-sacrifice, make these bold, lyrical songs unique in the genre of 19th century German lieder. This illustrated volume also contains a fascinating body of new research, translations, discography and appendix of associated works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Franz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1916247709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781916247703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.75d","brand":"Robert Franz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074164322559,"sku":"9781916247703","price":46.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d07c78cb-6f97-48c2-b42f-3a5c80430133.jpg?v=1685452159","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-osterwald-liederbuch-robert-franz-9781916247703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
