A young Strauss, at age 21, composed these songs on poems from Hermann von Gilm's Letzte Blatter. In accompanying his wife, a soprano, Strauss produced the performance markings which are presented in this edition. The cycle contains three of his best-known songs in Zueignung, Nichts, and Die Nacht. This edition is based on the Richard Strauss Works Critical Edition.
