"Das deutsche Kunstlied" and Franz Schubert are almost synonymous. He was able to express the essence of a text in music using the simplest and at the same time ingenious compositional means. In "Die schöne Müllerin", not only is each of the 20 songs a masterpiece, this cycle is also characterised by the musical narrative style, the arc of suspense and the deep emotion with which Schubert looks at the protagonist.
