Complete Songs for Solo Voice and Piano Series IV - Brahms - Vocal

$15.95

From the Introduction: "This volume (Series IV of the complete Dover Brahms songs, published in four volumes) contains Stanley Appelbaum's new literal prose translations of 120 songs that complete the Brahms song oeuvre. 19 of the songs conclude Brahms' chronological production between 1889 and 1896, including the gems "Wie Melodien zieht es," "Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer," and the Four Serious Songs. Then, there are two separate sensitive arrangements of folk and traditional songs that show Brahms' touch even though they are not original works.

In addition to the song texts, a translation of the original editor's commentary has been included, plus new listings of titles, opening lines, and poets. With this edition one may appreciate, play, and sing Brahms' lieder from legible notation, printed with wide margins on strong opaque paper, bound for durability on the music stand. Nowhere else are the great songs of Brahms available to musicians, students, and classical music lovers, at the lowest price and highest quality of design and reproduction."
