  • When I learned this my teacher forced me to learn it much faster. =\

  • Bleh. :-)

    To me, far faster than this would just feel like doing a huge diservice to the song. I suppose my teacher thought this pace was fine (he never corrected it), that was a long time ago though. Play it at any speed you wish. Interpret it up the wazoo. :-)

  • here is some more information from wikipedia:

    Christian Johann Heinrich Heine (December 13, 1797 -- February 17, 1856) was a journalist, an essayist, and one of the most significant German romantic poets. He is remembered chiefly for selections of his lyric poetry, many of which were set to music in the form of lieder (art songs) by German compo

  • Reminds me of Schubert's musical composition of "der erlkoenig". Pretty cool.

  • I have a slightly different translation on my version: Far away on the rock-coast of Scotland, Where the old grey castle projecteth Over the wild raging sea, There at the lofty and arched window, Standeth a woman beauteous, but ill, Softly transparent and marble pale; And she's playing her harp and she's singing, And the wind through her long locks forceth its way, And beareth her gloomy song Over the wide and tempest-toss'd sea.
  • This is my second visit here. I love it so atmospheric just like the poem
