Le Langage Musical de Bartok

Analyse / Theorie
Analysing Schubert's musical language through his Lieder means favouring the relations between music and poetry; it also entails granting a particular place to melody. Throughout the twenty Lieder making up Die schöne Müllerin , one will be amazed to discover such richness of evocation with such simple means. Attentive to these phrases, which are so lilting, and this piano accompaniment that is highly evocative yet so sober and sparing, we are going to study many riches, as much in harmony or phrasing as in the form of each Lied, in which, through tiny details, the composer frees himself from conventions, elaborating a world of his own to invite us on a romantic journey of rare intensity.
