German Lieder for Voice, Piano and Horn from the Early 19th Century – An Original Sound Expression

Summary/Abstract: In the sphere of chamber sonorities, the German Lieder for voice, piano and horn from the beginning of the 19th century are occupying a special place. These lieder are complex, are bringing together three different, seemingly contrasting instruments, and the sound that results produces a memorable impression on the audience. In Romania, these lieder are not as well known as they are in Germany or in other Western European countries. In Germany there is also a long tradition in the construction of brass instruments and their interpretive study. Another German tradition is that of amateur brass bands, which are present in every town or village at the community events. In this way, the presence of the horn in German vocal-chamber works, as well as their large number, can be explained. I believe that the lieder for voice, piano and horn deserve to be brought to the attention of the Romanian public, due to their musical qualities and innovative elements.
