Beschreibungen/Notizen
Here, we begin at the end of an affair: in the first song, "Gute Nacht", a man equally unlucky in love leaves the house of a woman who has spurned him and ventures into the freezing, winter night to contemplate his fate. In his book Schubert's Winter Journey: Anatomy of an Obsession (2014), the tenor Ian Bostridge notes that Schubert tampered with the order of Müller's poems, for reasons of musical sense and dramatic effect, and also abbreviated the title by removing the definite article, so Die Winterreise became Winterreise. Why was he rejected?
