Description:
Walther Dürr, one of the best-known Schubert scholars, now presents the fourth volume in high, middle and low register as a continuation of the new Urtext edition of Schubert's songs. On the one hand, it contains the last songbooks Schubert himself gave to print and, on the other, individual songs which were printed in Schubert's lifetime in remote places, in journals and almanacs, but which he himself was unable to include in songbooks or publish as operas with their own opus number, as well as the songs D 990A to D 990C listed as "undateable" in the Deutsch-Verzeichnis. Most of them were composed between 1826 and 1828.
The best-known settings in this volume are probably the fourteen songs D 957 and D 965A on poems by Ludwig Rellstab , Heinrich Heine and "Die Taubenpost" by Johann Gabriel Seidl, which are grouped together as "Schwanengesang". As these were Schubert's last major compositions, the collection, published posthumously by his publisher Haslinger at the beginning of May 1829, was subsequently given the name "Schwanengesang", traditionally used to describe an artist's last work.
