Description

The Liederkreis op. 39, first published in 1842, remains one of Schumann's most important song cycles, not only because of the famous "Mondnacht." Eight years later, Schumann revised the work for a new edition, replacing the opening piece ("Der frohe Wandersmann") with the song "In der Fremde." The Henle Urtext edition now offers both versions in their entirety, providing a wonderful opportunity to study Schumann's later revisions. Additionally, the edition includes complementary versions for medium and low voice, transposed by the experienced song accompanist Gerold Huber - a thoughtful addition for performers.
