Description

Pastels โ€“ 12 Short Descriptive Works

At the entrance of the romantic era stands the towering figure of Franz Schubert (1797-1828). After his death, the recognition of his genius spread across borders and cultures, and the devotion for his lieder reached mystical proportions. As the romantics โ€“ Liszt most famously โ€“ sanctified his musical inspiration, harpists also invited themselves to the banquet, producing many harp arrangements of Schubertโ€™s most beloved songs. Among them are Fรฉlix Godefroid, John Thomas, Beatrix Fels, and Anton Zamara. The editor has access to a few more old editions worth reprinting and awaits feedback from her harp colleagues on this subject.
