Franz Schubert, (31 January 1797 – 19 November 1828) was an Austrian composer of the late Classical and early Romantic eras. Even though his life has been short, he left behind a vast œvre. He is most famous for his Lieder.[1]

Schubert and Lieder

The term Lied (German for "song") gained a new meaning, that of the Kunstlied (art song) during Schubert's lifetime, describing an art form that bears similarities to arias or canzonettas, but is still something subtly different. The term Lied is used interchangeably with that of the Kunstlied in the English speaking world [2].

Often describing pastoral themes or romantic love[2], the term bears the notion of something intimate and immediate, and the concept is very relatable. Famous examples range from Robert Schumann's song cycle Frauenliebe und -leben (Woman's love and Life) to Richard Strauss's Vier letzte Lieder (Four Last Songs). In the recent past, the art form has been embodied in the Craigslistlieder by Gabriel Kahane. Released in 2007, they address the woes of users of the eponymous platform for classified advertisements. The very specific and personal theme predestines the genre of Lied.[3]
