The happy prince in Oscar Wilde'swell-known fairy tale seems to have everything as statue could possibly desire. He stands in a prominent position above the town, is covered in gold, adorned with precious stones and is admired and respected by the people. Nevertheless he decides to give it all up and to give away all his gold and jewels. With the aid of a little swallow he distributes his riches to the poor and needy, the forgotten and abandoned, and to hungry children for buying bread. These 21 short pieces illuminate the various episodes of the fairy tale and add another, musical and emotional, dimension. The setting is intended for intermediate piano students or adult learners.

1840 was Schumann's famous “year of song†that brought forth over 100 lieder. They included Myrthen op. 25, which he dedicated “to his dear bride,†Clara Wieck-Schumann. Besides famous songs such as “Widmung,†“Lotosblume†and “Nussbaum†to texts by German poets, the collection also saw Schumann venture further afield, whether to the Scottish Highlands with settings of Robert Burns or to Italy for the “Venetian Songs†of Thomas Moore. Schumann specialist Kazuko Ozawa has examined the first edition of 1840 and all the manuscript sources. Among the dedicatory autograph copies she has also discovered interesting early versions of individual songs that are here published in an appendix. Our Urtext edition is rounded off with an extensive history of how Myrthen was composed. This volume is a superlative addition to G. Henle Verlag’s series of Robert Schumann's song cycles.
