"Frühlingslied, Op. 1: No. 2, Leise zieht durch mein Gemüt" is a German art song composed by Theodor Kirchner. The piece was composed in 1853 and premiered the same year. It is part of a collection of six songs, Op. 1, which were published in 1854. The song is written for a solo voice and piano accompaniment. It is in the key of F major and has a moderate tempo. The piece is divided into three sections, with the first and third sections being in the same key and the middle section modulating to the key of C major. The text of the song is a poem by Heinrich Heine, which describes the arrival of spring and the effect it has on the speaker's emotions. The first section of the song is characterized by a gentle, flowing melody that reflects the peacefulness of the season. The middle section is more lively and energetic, with a faster tempo and a more complex piano accompaniment. The final section returns to the peaceful melody of the beginning, but with a slightly more melancholy tone. Overall, "Frühlingslied, Op. 1: No. 2, Leise zieht durch mein Gemüt" is a beautiful example of German art song, with a simple yet effective melody and a text that captures the essence of spring. The piece showcases Kirchner's skill as a composer and his ability to create music that is both expressive and accessible.
