Robert Schumann - "Mein schöner Stern", Op. 101, Nr. 4 (Rückert)

[Song5040]

Thank You!!!

Look at how he opens the piece with a dread-laden diminished 7th chord and then quickly changes it to an ingratiating dominant 7th...this quavering between dread and endearment follows throughout the song. Rapturous, despite the trite lyrics.

Nice, but we actually learned a MUCH nicer version of this song back in grade school... same melody and all, but a little different tempo and text.

What a lovely song!!! This is the first time I have heard this & its interesting to learn that this song was actually written to represent Clara Schumann! Thanks Karen!

Oh this is wonderful! Thank you for this. When the music joins the words, and the voice joins the two, and the image makes it whole... Brava!
