The songs are based on poems by Heinrich Heine, a German poet known for his romantic and lyrical style. The first song in the collection is titled "Ich stand in dunklen Träumen" (I stood in dark dreams) and is characterized by a melancholic and introspective mood. The second song, "Du bist wie eine Blume" (You are like a flower), is a tender and delicate love song with a simple and elegant piano accompaniment. The third song, "Im wunderschönen Monat Mai" (In the beautiful month of May), is a lively and joyful song that celebrates the arrival of spring. The fourth song, "Ein Jüngling liebt ein Mädchen" (A young man loves a girl), is a passionate and dramatic love song with a rich and complex piano accompaniment. The fifth song, "Am leuchtenden Sommermorgen" (On a bright summer morning), is a serene and peaceful song that evokes the beauty of nature. The final song in the collection, "Ich grolle nicht" (I bear no grudge), is a powerful and emotional song that expresses the pain of a broken heart. Overall, Rubinstein's 'Songs (6) of Heine for voice & piano, Op. 32' is a beautiful and expressive collection of songs that showcases the composer's skill in setting poetry to music. The songs are characterized by a wide range of moods and emotions, from melancholy and introspection to passion and drama, and are accompanied by elegant and intricate piano parts that enhance the expressive power of the music.
