In order to avoid comparing stylistically incompatible settings, the selection has been limited to Lieder between ca. 1825 and ca. 1850. Taking stock of Hensel’s interpretations and comparing them with those of other composers will allow musicologists and music theorists to assess her place in the history of the Lied in the first half of the nineteenth century.

Insight regarding what would happen during subsequent decades lies within the lieder of Franz Schubert, for these songs vectored innovation and inspiration throughout Europe, often unobtrusively yet most effectively, to composers of symphonies as well as songs. Johannes Brahms’ assertion, ‘There is no song of Schubert from which one cannot learn something’ captures a truth known by many nineteenth-century composers, and certainly many from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries as well. The multi-volume monument profiled here offers illuminative entrée to this celebrated corpus, and honours the composer by embodying the esteemwith which he is regarded today. Readers ofNineteenth-Century Music Reviewwill want Franz Schubert: The Complete Songs nearby.
