Im Frühling
Im Frühling ("In Spring") ( Op. 101, no. 1, D. 882) in G major is a Lied by Austrian composer Franz Schubert. Schubert composed the song in 1826 to a poem by Ernst Schulze (1789–1817) as part of ten poems by Schulze he set to music; they were part of Schulze's ''Poetic Diary'' which he wrote from 29 June 1813 until 17 February 1817. Schulze's original title was "On the 31st of March 1815". The poems were published by Brockhaus in 1822, the most probable source for Schubert. Text Still sitz' ich an des Hügels Hang, der Himmel ist so klar, das Lüftchen spielt im grünen Tal. Wo ich beim ersten Frühlingsstrahl einst, ach so glücklich war. Wo ich an ihrer Seite ging so traulich und so nah, und tief im dunkeln Felsenquell den schönen Himmel blau und hell und sie im Himmel sah. Sieh, wie der bunte Frühling schon aus Knosp' und Blüte blickt! Nicht alle Blüten sind mir gleich, am liebsten pflückt ich von dem Zweig, von welchem sie gepflückt! Denn alles ist wie damals no ...

Opus Number
In musicology, the opus number is the "work number" that is assigned to a musical composition, or to a set of compositions, to indicate the chronological order of the composer's production. Opus numbers are used to distinguish among compositions with similar titles; the word is abbreviated as "Op." for a single work, or "Opp." when referring to more than one work. To indicate the specific place of a given work within a music catalogue, the opus number is paired with a cardinal number; for example, Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor (1801, nicknamed ''Moonlight Sonata'') is "Opus 27, No. 2", whose work-number identifies it as a companion piece to "Opus 27, No. 1" ( Piano Sonata No. 13 in E-flat major, 1800–01), paired in same opus number, with both being subtitled ''Sonata quasi una Fantasia'', the only two of the kind in all of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas. Furthermore, the ''Piano Sonata, Op. 27 No. 2, in C-sharp minor'' is also catalogued as "Sonata No. 14", ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ernst Schulze (poet)
Ernst Conrad Friedrich Schulze (22 March 1789 – 29 June 1817) was a German Romantic poet. He was born and died in Celle. Early life and education The son of the Mayor of Celle, his mother died while he was only two years old and much of his early education was overseen by his two grandfathers, who were a Celle bookseller and a minister. Widely respected by his contemporaries in early youth, he found himself increasingly drawn into a new ''poetische Welt'' (world of poetry) in his mid-teens, showing a particular interest in folklore, fairy tales and diverse French literature. He said of himself, "I lived in a fantasy world and was on the way to becoming a complete obsessive." Despite these early Romantic daydreams, he was able to apply himself to his school work and was, at age 16, a model student. Given his upbringing, it is probably unsurprising that he initially studied theology at the Georg-August University of Göttingen from 1806. He went on to study philosophy, lit ...
