ROBERT SCHUMANN Myrthen op. 25, Liederkreis Kazuko Ozawa (Editeur) Edition Urtext, reliure paperback version originale pour voix haute De la fameuse année 1840, celle des Lieder, au cours de laquelle Schumann composa plus de cent mélodies, datent aussi les «Myrthen» op. 25 que le compositeur dédia «à sa chère fiancée» Clara Wieck-Schumann. À côté d’aussi célèbres mélodies que «Widmung», «Lotosblume» ou encore «Nussbaum» sur des textes de poètes allemands, se trouvent également quelques escapades vers des contrées plus lointaines comme les Highlands écossais d’un Robert Burn ou encore les «Mélodies vénitiennes» de Thomas Moore. La spécialiste de Schumann Kazuko Ozawa a examiné, outre la première édition de 1840, l’ensemble des sources manuscrites, et a découvert parmi les autographes dédicacés d’intéressantes versions primitives de certaines mélodies, ici reproduites en annexe. Une introduction exhaustive sur la genèse des «Myrthen» complète cette édition Urtext qui enrichit d’un superbe volume la série des cycles de Lieder de Schumann du G. Henle Verlag.

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 Verlags series of Robert Schumann's song cycles.
