Question

In a collection of pieces in this genre titled for Mathilde Wesendonck, Richard Wagner first used two themes that would later become central to Tristan und Isolde. A late-Romantic Austrian composer nearly exclusively composed works in this genre aside from the string quartet Italian Serenade. Heinrich Ernst and Franz Liszt each transcribed a work in this genre for their solo instrument. (10[1])Works in this (-5[1])genre by (10[2])(*) Hugo Wolf were recorded (-5[1])by the duo Sviatoslav Richter and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. (-5[1])Robert Schumann’s “year” of this genre produced collections like Myrthen and Dichterliebe, setting poems by Goethe and Heinrich Heine. For 10 points, name (10[1])this genre (10[1])of Franz Schubert’s Winterreise (“vin-ter-ice-uh”), featuring a pianist accompanying a singer. ■END■
