Abstract

This article examines closely the textual origins of Schubert’s Winterreise in order to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between Wilhelm Müller’s set of poems and Franz Schubert’s song cycle based on those poems. A study of the genesis of the poetry and the final arrangement of poems in both Müller’s and Schubert’s cycles illustrates a contrast between a work of hope and another of despair.
