About
Winterreise is a song cycle composed by Franz Schubert in 1827, setting 24 poems by Wilhelm Müller (D.911, published 1828). It is regarded as a cornerstone of the German Lied repertoire and has been recorded and performed widely in concert and recital by many leading singers and pianists. The cycle's bleak narrative and expressive piano writing have inspired numerous reinterpretations and staged presentations.
