I would like to sing myself to death like a nightingale - 1840, Schumann's most prolific song year, was marked by great private upheaval. He was only able to finally marry Clara in September after he had fought her father in a court case. The Eichendorff cycle is probably my most romantic, he informed her of his latest opus, and there is a great deal of you in it. The song cycle opus 39 that was first published in 1842 is today one of Schumann's most important song cycles - not least because of the famous Moon night. He revised his work for a new edition eight years later. Our Urtext edition offers both versions in their entirety.
