About this book
Arguably no other 19th-century German composer was as literate or as finely attuned to setting verse as Robert Schumann. Finson challenges assumptions about Schumann’s Lieder, engaging traditionally held interpretations. Arranged in part thematically, rather than by strict compositional chronology, this book speaks to the heart of Schumann’s music.
Reviews
This guide will be a tremendous boon for the study of Schumann's songs. I propose a toast to Jon Finson for stepping up to the plate on this important task of writing a new guide to Schumann's songs in English that will supersede the old Eric Sams book.

What a wealth of information and insight! On every page, Finson tells us things worth knowing. From a lifetime of studying this repertory, he has distilled vast knowledge into what will become, I feel sure, an essential source for a long time to come.
