Winterreise No.23 " Die Nebensonnen " M o r e SCHUBERT V i d e o s "There is no song of Schubert's from which one cannot learn something." ( Johannes Brahms ) "Everything he touched...turned to song." "... As a bird lives in the air, so he lived in music, and in doing so sang melodies fit for angels." ( Franz Liszt ) "...he would have gradually set the whole German literature to music." ( Robert Schumann ) "...When the publishers told him that people found the accompaniment to his songs too hard and the keys often too difficult, and that, in his own interest, he ought to pay more attention to this, he always replied that he could not write differently and that anyone who could not play his compositions should leave them alone and a person to whom one key was not as easy as another was, anyhow, not in the least musical." ( Joseph von Spaun ) "When I visited him for the first time, and it was in winter and extremely cold, I found him in a dimly lit, damp, unheated little room; he was sitting wrapped up in an old, threadbare dressing-gown, freezing with cold, and -composing" ( Anselm Hüttenbrenner ) "...Schubert, whose name, I thought, should only be whispered at night to the trees and stars." ( Robert Schumann ) "...The composer of the "Winterreise" may have gone hungry to bed, but he was a happy artist." ( R. Capell ) WINTERREISE / "Der Wegweiser" - " The SIGNPOST " Add to My Profile | More Videos " Why do I avoid the routes Which the other travelers take, To search out hidden paths Through snowy cliff tops? I have truly done no wrong That I should shun mankind. What foolish desire Drives me into the wastelands? Signposts stand along the roads, Signposts leading to the towns; And I wander on and on, Restlessly in search of rest. One signpost stands before me , Remains fixed before my gaze . One road I must take , From which no one has ever returned.
