Georg Schumann's 'Mädchenlieder (7), for soprano & piano, Op. 35' is a collection of seven songs composed in 1908. The work was premiered in Berlin in the same year. The songs are written for soprano voice and piano accompaniment. The first song in the collection is titled 'Mädchenlied' (Maiden's Song) and is characterized by a lively and playful melody. The second song, 'Mädchenlied im Herbst' (Maiden's Song in Autumn), has a more melancholic tone and features a slower tempo. The third song, 'Mädchenlied am Sonntagmorgen' (Maiden's Song on Sunday Morning), is a gentle and peaceful piece that evokes a sense of calm and serenity. The fourth song, 'Mädchenlied im Frühling' (Maiden's Song in Spring), is a joyful and upbeat piece that captures the spirit of the season. The fifth song, 'Mädchenlied in der Dämmerung' (Maiden's Song at Dusk), has a more introspective and contemplative character, with a haunting melody that lingers in the mind. The sixth song, 'Mädchenlied am Abend' (Maiden's Song in the Evening), is a tender and romantic piece that expresses the longing and yearning of the maiden's heart. The final song in the collection, 'Mädchenlied im Winter' (Maiden's Song in Winter), is a somber and reflective piece that captures the stark beauty of the season. Overall, Schumann's 'Mädchenlieder' is a charming and evocative collection of songs that showcases the composer's skill in crafting melodies that capture the essence of each season and mood. The work remains a popular choice for soprano singers and pianists alike, and continues to be performed and enjoyed by audiences around the world.
