In his book Poem and Music in the German Lied, Jack Stein attempts to evaluate the fidelity of Schumann's music in Dichterliebe to the poems he appropriated from Heine's Lyrisches Intermezzo. Stein asserts that, although he certainly caught some of the nuance of Heine's work, Schumann often ignored the text's "caustic" and "ironic" components which results in a "sweetening and sentimentalizing of Heine's sharp, pointed verse." Stein progresses through the song cycle chronologically, pointing out

Biography of Franz Schubert *No Works Cited Many prominent musicians produced major works during the romantic period. Among these are Beethoven, Strause, and Bach.

musician can become a good accompanist.” Adler names patience and love of detail as necessary qualities for successful Lied singers. “Add to this a rich and deep inner life, […] and the ability to mold diction and voice into a thousand shapes. Still more important is a singer’s idealism.” I find these qualities equally necessary for successful Lied pianists. I believe that, in Lied accompaniment like in every other art form, a need for expression and a sincere affection for what one does are necessary
Disney lied, life is not a fairy tale. I remember thinking my life would be like a Disney movie, but it was just my mom and I. I always wanted a father I knew I had, I just didn't know why he wasn't around. My grandmother held me once as a child as I cried begging her to let me find him, “He doesn’t know where I am Granma… I need to tell him.” I whimpered. Disney made me believe that someday he would come home with all the birthday cards, a ball to toss, and all the love that I had ever wanted

The book I chose, What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell, stood out to me immediately. The first thing that caught my attention was the setting, as it is based in 1948. This is peculiar because it is right when World War II ended, which is a time period that I am not too familiar with. I was eager to discover whether the setting would play a role in the plot of the novel or not. Furthermore, a basic description of the plot also persuaded me to select the book because it was described as a coming
