Description:
To whom did Beethoven address this song cycle "An die ferne Geliebte" ("To the Distant Beloved"), which he completed at the age of 45 in April 1816? Was it to the same person, to whom his passionate letter to the "Immortal Beloved" had already been dedicated in 1812? The source of Beethoven’s song text is also shrouded in mystery. We only know the poet’s name: Alois Jeitteles, a budding doctor and writer, about whose relationship with Beethoven we have no details. Whatever else, these songs provide a moving insight into the composer’s inner state, as he managed to find new creative strength after a difficult year.
For this cycle, Beethoven had a high voice in mind. For all lower registers, Henle presents this quintessential work of the song repertoire in transpositions for medium and low voices. In addition to a fascinating preface by Beethoven specialist Helga Lühning, this practical Urtext edition also includes the complete song text in English and French translations.
