Oh man, I LOVE this. It brings me back to university when I was studying opera and we were studying German lieder in music history, this was one of my favourite Schubert pieces! That final line of the poem of “In seinen Armen das Kind war tot” was SO well set.

It was one of my favorite pieces in my gen-ed music history class, as well. There are plenty of versions but I'm very fond of the one we were shown, and have it in my regular music library.

Link for anyone who wants to listen, same performance but with animation for anyone easily bored or wanting a visualization.

If you want to get your mind blown check out Hilary Hahn playing this piece for solo violin.

It’s an inhuman level of polyphony for a violin
