DCCCLXXXVII. MOZART, Wolfgang Amadeus: Das Lied der Trennung, K. 519

DCCCLXXXVII. MOZART, Wolfgang Amadeus (1756-1791)

Das Lied der Trennung, K. 519 (1787)

Two versions

This late minor key love song shines a spotlight on the form -- often overlooked with all the grand symphonies, operas, and sonatas ...

Both singers omit verses 2 and 3.

Notice how verses 5 and 6 switch to a more dramatic mode (in the relative major, A-Flat), before returning to the reprise in verse 7.

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, baritone
Daniel Barenboim, piano
(4:53)

Fischer-Dieskau transposed it down a minor third to D Minor.

Elly Ameling, soprano
Dalton Baldwin, piano
(4:31)
