The suddenness, spontaneity, and productiveness of this period in Wolf's life has been likened to similar songwriting outbursts by Schubert in 1814–15 and Schumann in 1840–41.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough Wolf composed in other forms, his fame rests almost entirely on his songs. Highly original, intuitive, intensely dramatic, Wolf's musical interpretations perfectly matched Mörike's complex, quasi-symbolic style. In addition to a superb awareness of verbal rhythm and vocal inflections, Wolf also brought a delicacy of psychological insight to his compositions that made the song \"a reincarnation of the poem in another medium.\"\u003cbr\u003eThe present volume contains all 53 of the Mörike songs, Wolf's complete treatment of the poet, reproduced from the 2nd revised Heckel edition. Stanley Appelbaum has provided new literal prose translations of the lyrics, as well as alphabetical lists of song titles and openings, and a glossary of German musical terms.\u003cbr\u003eSongs include: Der Genesene an die Hoffnung; Im Frühling; Lebe wohl; Der Tambour; Auf ein altes Bild; Der Jäger; Fussreise; Charwoche; Der Feuerreiter; Verborgenheit; Neue Liebe; Gesang Weyla's; Elfenlied; Frage und Antwort; Auftrag; and 38 more.\u003cbr\u003eWolf's lieder rank at the very summit of the genre.

By his musical sensitivity to poetic values and meanings which he embodied in each separate aspect of the song … he was able, like Schubert before him, to condense the dramatic intensity of opera into the song form.\"\u003cbr\u003eLovers of lieder have long sought a convenient, comprehensive, inexpensive edition of all 53 Mörike songs.
