The piano-accompanied Lied is undoubtedly the main genre of Pauline Viardot-Garcia's oeuvre. With this volume, we present settings of German texts by such poets as Ludwig Uhland, Eduard Morike, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Heinrich Heine, Emanuel Geibel, Ludwig Rellstab and Richard Pohl. Except for the Uhland settings, these German Lieder were written between 1862 and 1871 during Viardot's Baden-Baden period, when she shifted the focus of her activities from singing to composing and teaching. Here she worked, among other things, on the poetry of Eduard Morike, which she called the greatest and most genuine in all German poetry after Goethe.One of her first published songs was the setting of the Uhland poem Des Knaben Berglied. Accompanying herself on the piano, she performed it in 1838 on her first concert tour of Germany. A performance of the song at the Leipzig Gewandhaus prompted Robert Schumann to remark: She showed three talents here [composition, singing and piano playing], each of which would grace its artist. Through her music, Viardot brings the creatures in the poems to life, tracing their different characters and inner states, thus giving the texts a new level of interpretation.

Volume 9 in the series of Supplements is mainly devoted to hitherto unpublished or inaccessible works. Apart from the piano score of the Berlioz symphony it contains smaller-scale late masterpieces (Excelsior!, Resignazione), the Album leaves written in Woronince in 1847, the large-scale but unfinished and not fully worked out Figaro and Don Juan fantasia, incorporating several Mozart themes, the piano piece No.1 in A flat major, two unpublished works incorrectly identified up till now by the special literature, the Maometto fantasia and the Siege de Corinthe (both transcriptions of Rossini works), and the volume also includes three other unpublished works (the Piano piece in Fmajor, the Cavatina from Robert le Diable by Meyerbeer, and Freudvoll und leidvoll, written down for Pauline von Iwanowska. The Prefaces preceding the scores, which give very accurate, detailed information about the genesis of the works, make interesting reading in themselves, but their true significance consists in the new scholarly discoveries made by the editors. Similarly to the other NLE volumes, both the cloth-bound (Z. 14504a) version and the one bound in hard-paper (Z. 14504) contain in three languages the series preface, the preface to this volume, and the captions below the facsimiles, but the critical notes in English are to be found only in the linen-bound edition.

Der Band enthält neben der Klavierpartitur der Symphonie von Berlioz, kleinere, spätere Meisterwerke (Excelsior!, Resignazione), die 1874 in Woronince entstandenen Albumblätter, die umfangreichen, mehrere Mozart-Themen aufgreifenden, aber unbeendeten und unausgearbeiteten Figaro- und Don Giovanni-Phantasien, das schon seit langem unzugängliche Klavierstück No. 1 in As-Dur, zwei von der Fachliteratur verkannte, unveröffentlichte Werke, die Maometto-Phantasie und die ‚Siege de Corinthe' (beide sind Transkriptionen von Rossini-Werken) und drei, ebenfalls bisher nicht erschienene Stücke, das Klavierstück in F-Dur, die Cavatina aus Meyerbeers ‚Robert der Teufel' und dasfür Pauline von Iwanowska komponierte ‚Freudvoll und leidvoll'. Das Vorwort, welches die Entstehungsgeschichte der Werke sehr genau und auf jedes Detail eingehend vorstellt, ist auch selbst eine interessante Lektüre. Seine wahre Bedeutung machen aber die neuen wissenschaftlichen Entdeckungen aus.
