A cyclical novella concept is revealed in the song series. It demonstrates an underlying form of life trajectory that addresses a highly expressed romantic principle of psychological life threat, absolute longing, the dwindling of life resources, and more. This book offers a first-time analysis of the early songs of Kerner (from 1828). The necessary engagement with Kerner's poetry attempts to view the artistic connection between Kerner and Schumann (alongside Heine-Schumann or Eichendorff-Schumann) in its epochal dimension: as a synonym and conceptual-sensory extension of the term musical high romanticism. It serves as an interpretative aid for song performance, arising from the practical and theoretical approach of the musicologist and pianist. The author aligns a purely analytical methodology with a suggestive communication strategy.
