About Franz Schubert And The Mysterium Magnum
At the beginning of the 19th century a rich symbiosis of Jewish and Christian mysticism flourished in Germany and Austria. The poems that inspired the art of Franz Schubert reveal a deep involvement in this movement. Franz Liszt called Schubert "the most poetic of composers" for his music so perfectly matched the words of his Lieder. Although it is not always recognized, the poetry that inspired the Lieder was often the inspiration of the instrumental masterworks. This poetry is a guide to a better understanding and richer experience of Schubert's art. In the first part of Franz Schubert and the Mysterium Magnum Frank Ruppert leads the reader into the deep truth of this mysticism that may seem foreign to the modern mind. In the second part the poetry-music correlations of the instrumental masterworks are analyzed. The art is sublime. Experiencing it in all its unique beauty is an incomparable experience. This second edition has an extensive alphabetical index. All Schubert works referenced are indexed by D number.
