The Cambridge Companion to Schubert's ‘Winterreise'

This Companion is designed for upper-level undergraduates and masters students. It explores the music and contexts of Schubert's venerated song cycle Winterreise (1827) - twenty-four settings of poems by Wilhelm Müller depicting a solitary wanderer's alienation, disorientation, and despair suffered amidst a bleak, frigid landscape.
