Beautiful. If you know the history of Dichterliebe, he actually wrote it right after he got married to his wife Clara. There was a huuuuuge legal battle with her father cause he didn't want them to marry. So I think that this song represents the longing and the beauty that love can represent, but that the reciprocation of love is not always certain.
@wagneristhebest Fritz W born September 26, 1930 died September 17, 1966. There is a calculator in windows if you're having trouble with the maths. He died in Heidelberg. Di*ckhead.
@irl4567 no he wasn't you fool - I would advise you to look your facts up in future before reprimanding people on youtube about them. He was 46 when he died in Bonn.
If you hear the whole set of songs called "Dichterliebe", you'll see that this love does not go well. The piano accompaniment, I believe, is foreshadowing that.
@wagneristhebest Good point ! It seems a bit uplifting but there's a great deal of nostalgy in it as well. Also, Heine was known as being a master of irony and sarcasm, and Schumann just understood that too well. In some poems in Dichterliebe and Liederkreis op. 24 (also by Schumann, with Heine poems), there are some phrases full or heart-wrenching sarcasm... I just love it
@kaoshihshiuan he was 46 - not as bad as schubert, mozart, chopin, etc. but still too young. and the way he died is awful - some believe he was actually constantly assailed by schizophrenia

@GoApples I think the set of songs were written right before they married, since he was still longing for her.

@NinpoIkkan I wouldn't really know. But they got married in 1840 and Schumann started composing most of his lieder in the same year.

"Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Knospen sprangen,
Da ist in meinem Herzen
Die Liebe aufgegangen.
Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Vögel sangen,
Da hab ich ihr gestanden
Mein Sehnen und Verlangen."

A lied that should be heard by all ears...
In the wonderfully lovely month of May,
When all the buds were bursting,
Then it was that in my heart
Love broke through.
In the wonderfully lovely month of May,
When all the birds were singing,
then it was I confessed to her
My longing and desire
