To restrict performance of the Schumann Lieder to the "familiar forty" is to deprive the singer and pianist of a major reservoir of superior song. Singing Schumann not only reconsiders the early songs, but takes an in-depth look at the middle and late Lieder, bringing them to life as exciting performance vehicles. Bringing the same readability and informed insights to this volume that distinguished the acclaimed On the Art of Singing (OUP 1996) Miller presents a practical manual to help singers and pianists bring Robert Schumann's Lieder to life in performance. He offers cogent suggestions for interpretation of all Schumann's solo and duet songs, grounded in a thorough understanding of Schumann's compositional style and its historical background.
