Oxford University Press Singing Schumann: An Interpretive Guide for Performers

To restrict performance of Schumann's Lieder to the "familiar forty" is to deny a major reservoir of superior song. Richard Miller not only reconsiders his early songs, but takes an in-depth look at the middle and late Lieder, giving them new life as exciting performance vehicles. Offering the same readability and insight in these pages that distinguished his On the Art of Singing (OUP 1996), Miller presents a practical manual to help singers and pianists bring Schumann's Lieder to life.
