This video has saved me. In a week i'm having an exam about romantic music's contexts etc. This is all you need in a nutshell. Thanks for quality content. Teaching through memes will be probably my speciality xD
As a pianist I laughed out loud at the lyric “The triplet semi-quavers show the heart in mayhem, but that’s assuming you’ll find someone who will play them. The R.S.I. takes hold.” Normally repetitive stress injuries are no joke, but not in this case! Edit: I didn’t notice until I listened to it a couple more times that in the last two measures of that passage the pianist is actually cheating in the left hand by skipping the triplets and only playing the bass line! That’s totally something I would do!
@@mdcollins1984 Are you familiar with Liszt transcriptions of this pieces for solo piano? They are amazing but super difficult. I have actually been able to Ave Maria, though Erlkonig eludes me as I simply cannot do anymore than intro without my technique beginning to fail and invite injury.
@@randomchannel-px6ho I have heard some of the Liszt transcriptions, but haven't attempted to play any. I think a lot of the problems are caused by heavier piano actions today than Schubert would have been used to on a 1820s fortepiano.
Absolutely brilliant! A very nice combo between Elgar and Brahms for the beginning there... I nearly did a similar composition called "I can't believe they leid to me", but this is far superior!
I thought your work couldn’t get funnier than the Ontological Fugue. Luckily this piece tugs all my Schubert/Schumann strings. I’m subscribing. Very well done.
The other feature of text setting here is not said but implied: word painting! Also, "Andante con molto rubato" and the composer's name got me to laugh right at the start
I wanted to cry right after second 20, its so emotional and funny but really captivates the essence of that purest truthest sublime celestial art form ❤️
Das ist so großartig, dass ich mir das dreimal hintereinander angehört habe :-). It ist so great that I listened to it three times :-) Bravo!! A really wonderful joke with a lot of knowledge.
Ok but the voice was actually very well suited to the faster middle section, which is arguably harder to pull off for most people than the lyrical parts!
I love all the work and creativity that gets put into these easy to understand word painting demonstration. Good work! I want to see more content like this!
I just love your channel ! Not only your fugues are incredibly funny and well written, but this Schubert-like Lied is genuinely great (love the Doppelgänger reference), keep it up man, it’s really nice to have some great content out there, congratulations ! TL;DR : You made my day
Quality content, I'll be expecting nothing less than even more mediocre singing from now on

*Eine Gegenmelodie IST gängig =)
Vivaldi (still embittered by Stravinsky): "Schubert didn't write 600 _Lieder_ ; he wrote the same _Lied_ 600 times!"
I bet Mozart wrote it down in his famous collection _The Well-Tempered Clavier_, no?

Same, although the only thing that bugs me with the ending is that he didn't repeat the first theme, I thought that might give more closure.
Ha! That Erlköning lick made me laugh!
Edit: AND the Doppelgänger reference! Very well done 😆
Don't forget the Im wünderschöne Monat Mei reference at 2:06

OMG PLEASEEE
I love people who can bash something in such specific and pointed ways it actually shows how much they love that thing.
This was full of jokes and references. I'm sure I missed some, but still this is the sort of comedy I love.
This is getting shown to every one of my advanced classical singing students. Brilliant!
A complete lieder recital in one song - so economical, much less time consuming! A tour de force. Bravo.
I thought your work couldn’t get funnier than the Ontological Fugue. Luckily this piece tugs all my Schubert/Schumann strings.
I’m subscribing. Very well done.

Das ist so großartig, dass ich mir das dreimal hintereinander angehört habe :-). It ist so great that I listened to it three times :-) Bravo!! A really wonderful joke with a lot of knowledge.
It’s the line “But now the cadence is interrupted” for me. So friekkin funny!!
I love the way the piano score winks multiple times. I even thought at some point the text "simile" was actually "smile" lol
Real happy to find this guy before he blows up huge on RUclips. I know before 2023 he’ll be in every musician’s algorithm.
2:08 Schumann Was will die einsame träine Op.25 No.1
2:25 Schumann Widmung in the piano accompaniment
Isn't 2:08 Im wunderschönen Monat Mai?
@@Abrikosia Ah yes, sorry! Always got the two mixed up haha, thank you!
I NEED THIS SCORE!!!!! TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Absolutely loving these! Catching the references to well-known Lieder is particularly fun!
Ok but the voice was actually very well suited to the faster middle section, which is arguably harder to pull off for most people than the lyrical parts!
Bravo! This is brilliant in so many ways, from idea to performance, with so many small details to unravel, from repeated listening.
Omfg I was at "Winterreise" concert today, and this is so damn relatable ahahahahhaha
was at one on the in London by Ben Appl and just saw this- was fantastic 😂
The references to Schubert’s Erlkonig, Der Doppelganger, and others are genius!
I love all the work and creativity that gets put into these easy to understand word painting demonstration.
Good work! I want to see more content like this!
A perfect Valentine's day lieder!
I love the way, you're mixing a good stereotypical music with jokes emphasizing these stereotypes!
The content every classical music nerd needs
The ease of sight-reading this sheet music makes the point even clearer, having sung many a lied.
Most humorous part of this 'Lied' is the return to the... TONIC!
I’m going to need this for my next recital 😂
Oh yes!! Take me to your Lieder!!!
If all your compositions are this much fun, I wanna join your lockdown choir!
I want the sheet music to perform this so much! It’s amazing!
All my music is at www.freddywickhammusic.uk
love that the countermelody is actually just Im wunderschönen Monat Mai lmao 2:09
Am I the only one that constantly hears Schumann's Widmung in the piano part? (especially 2:24)

Ok, but you didn't need to call out my master's recital like this 😤 (this is so charming - thank you for this fun break in work)
This is executed so perfectly, I love it!
it's so weird how nice this is, while being so funny as well!! Very nice piece!
😂 I felt this on a deep emotional level
I'm mining this rich seam of cleverness and enjoying it hugely. Peter Schickele's shade hovers over you!
Oh my god. This is so funny and clever. Well done!
I liked the Erlkönig easter egg
As someone who has basically sung nothing but Lieder, this is accurate as hell lol
"all of Schubert's Lieder in 3 minutes and 18 seconds"
coming back to this video to note that this gets stuck in my head pretty regularly
Super charming!
I remember a little from music education, still enough to understand... I admire this.
Unironically really pretty
You, sir, are brilliant.
You both sound fine! Don’t beat yourselves up!
From the first phrase or two I was already thinking im wundershonen monat mai lol.
Every romantic lied, so, thank you for finally revealing the truth!
This is brilliant!!!
I love this so much ❤️
You should do every Bach Cantata ever :P
Legit content. Please post more of this
Brilliant! Love it!
2:17 the strong urge to sing im wunderschönen monat mai I can't even LMAO
This was so good, great job 😂
The RUclips algorithm knows me well to suggest this. Haha, you’ve made my day!
Fantastic! I sang a lot of Schubert lieder in college.
What a wonderful lesson! 😁
HAPPY VALENTINES 2023
SO clever and very funny. Thank you!
It’s the Wolfbert for me. I think he’s going to be a recurring character in the silly stories I tell my violin students to get them to emote😁🤣
thank you for sharing
I love that you gave the piano a portion to tip your hat to Der Erlkonig😂
I love that "Der Doppelganger" reference, that was actually really funny.
Dichterliebe? LOL, I recognized it by last part
There was something about warm May's days
INCREDIBLE
Well done your video is now my musical wine
for when "every beethoven symphony"? I would be attentive if you let me know :P
Oh. And the music to my audition song!
This is as hilarious as your ontological fugue, thanks you!
I just love your channel ! Not only your fugues are incredibly funny and well written, but this Schubert-like Lied is genuinely great (love the Doppelgänger reference), keep it up man, it’s really nice to have some great content out there, congratulations !

I love this! Please tell me you'll put the sheet music out someday, I'd absolutely love a copy!!! It would be so fun to sing this someday!
Another wonderful video!
When someone says there can’t be songs without words:
I REALLY liked that B section!
Very clever.....I may sing it
2:09 Im wunderschönen Monat Mai for sure... very clever considering the text at that point
This is genius!!
Very very good. Lehrer would have been proud.
