Raoul Koczalski's 'Lieder for voice & piano, Op. 66' is a collection of six songs composed in 1928. The premiere of the work took place in Warsaw, Poland, in the same year. The six songs are titled 'In the Garden of Dreams,' 'The Nightingale,' 'The Rose,' 'The Butterfly,' 'The Fountain,' and 'The Moon.' The first song, 'In the Garden of Dreams,' is a romantic and dreamy piece that features a flowing piano accompaniment and a soaring vocal melody. The second song, 'The Nightingale,' is a lively and playful piece that captures the joy and energy of the bird's song. The third song, 'The Rose,' is a tender and emotional piece that explores the beauty and fragility of the flower. The fourth song, 'The Butterfly,' is a light and delicate piece that captures the fluttering and fleeting nature of the insect. The fifth song, 'The Fountain,' is a lively and energetic piece that captures the bubbling and flowing of water. The final song, 'The Moon,' is a haunting and atmospheric piece that explores the mystery and allure of the celestial body. Overall, Koczalski's 'Lieder for voice & piano, Op. 66' is a collection of romantic and expressive songs that showcase the composer's skill in both melody and accompaniment. The songs are characterized by their flowing and lyrical melodies, as well as their evocative and descriptive piano accompaniments. The work is a testament to Koczalski's talent as a composer and his ability to capture the beauty and emotion of the natural world in his music.
