Description
All three of Schubert's setting of words from Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister"
("Wer sich der Einsamkeit ergibt" [Who gives himself to solitude], "Wer nie sein Brot mit Tränen ass" [Who never ate his bread with tears], "An die Türen" [I will creep up to the doors])
transposed to the key of E minor for cor anglais and guitar.
In some places the guitar part is simplified in comparison to the original piano part
in order to improve the flowing quality.
A version for cor anglais and piano, also in E minor, is also available
The sound sample is an electronic preview of the first song.
The three songs are also available individually on this site.
