Schubert |
|||
| The sheer number of recordings and monographs about Franz Schubert's song cycle `Winterreise' alone testify to its magnificence.

Its 24 songs, settings of texts by the poet Wilhelm Müller, were published on two separate occasions - one in February 1827, and one in October 1827. | |||||

Beethoven: Last Sonatas, Op. 109, 110 & 111 |

| Beethoven's last three sonatas explore the intimate meanders of the human soul, from despair to transfiguration.

Mahler |
|||
| Jean Paul's novel `Titan', in which an artistically gifted young man, driven by his failure to find his way in society, eventually commits suicide in despair, inspired Gustav Mahler to compose his `Symphony No. 1'. The work did not come easily to Mahler - he composed it between 1887 and 1888 when he, in his twenties, was working as a conductor at the Oper Leipzig. The first version of the work was considered as a symphonic poem in two parts, as its titles told a specific musical story. | |||||
