The Book Of German Songs: From The Sixteenth To The Nineteenth Century - Tapa blanda

This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work.

Compared with the bulky collections of A lte und i Neue Lieder, which have appeared from time to time in Germany, this little volume must necessarily seem a crude and fragmentary representative of German Song Literature. It does not, indeed, aspire to completeness. The subject is far too ample to be exhausted within the compass of a few hundred pages; for there is scarcely a department of German song writing, whether it be that of popular songs (V o Uislieder), sacred and moral songs (G reistliche Lieder), or students songs (S hidenten-und Burschenlieder), which would not present sufficient material for a book of goodly size; and however carefully a volume like the present one may be prepared, much that is essential must necessarily be omitted from mere lack of space.
