The cycle consists of five songs, each of which is based on a hunting theme. The first song, "Jägerlied" (Hunter's Song), is a lively and energetic piece that captures the excitement and thrill of the hunt. The second song, "Waldesgespräch" (Conversation in the Forest), is a more contemplative piece that features a dialogue between a hunter and a forest spirit. The third song, "Jagdlied" (Hunting Song), is a rousing and triumphant piece that celebrates the joy of the hunt. The fourth song, "Trinklied" (Drinking Song), is a lively and humorous piece that features a group of hunters drinking and singing together. The final song, "Abendlied" (Evening Song), is a peaceful and reflective piece that brings the cycle to a gentle close. The songs in Jagdlieder (5), Op. 137 are characterized by their lively rhythms, bold melodies, and vivid imagery. Schumann's use of hunting themes reflects his love of nature and the outdoors, as well as his interest in German folklore and tradition.
