 Singing
Schumann : An Interpretive Guide for Performers by
Richard Miller
To restrict
performance of the Schumann Lieder to the "familiar forty"
is to deprive the singer and pianist of a major reservoir of superior
song. Singing Schumann not only reconsiders the early songs, but
takes an in-depth look at the middle and late Lieder, bringing
them to life as exciting performance vehicles. Bringing the same
readability and informed insights to this volume that distinguished
the acclaimed On the Art of Singing (OUP 1996) Miller presents
a practical manual to help singers and pianists bring Robert Schumann's
Lieder to life in performance. He offers cogent suggestions for
interpretation of all Schumann's solo and duet songs, grounded
in a thorough understanding of Schumann's compositional style
and its historical background. (Amazon.com)
