Du liebst mich nicht

Op. 59 · No. 1

Franz Schubert · 1823 · A minor · 56 bars · 54 chords analysed

Schubert wrote more than 600 songs in a short life, turning the German Lied into a major art form. A song (in German, a Lied) sets a poem for voice and piano. The piano is a full partner: it paints the scene, the weather and the singer's mood. This score comes from the OpenScore Lieder Corpus, a free collection of 19th-century songs that includes many women composers.
