It is considered to be the first example of a song cycle by a major composer.</div><div class="p">Beethoven's only song cycle was the precursor of a series of followers, including those of <a href="http://en.instr.scorser.com/C/Orchestra/Franz+Schubert/All/Popularity.html">Franz Schubert</a>, <a href="http://en.instr.scorser.com/C/Orchestra/Robert+Schumann/All/Popularity.html">Robert Schumann</a> and <a href="http://en.instr.scorser.com/C/Orchestra/Carl+Loewe/All/Popularity.html">Carl Loewe</a>. The setting is for a man's voice (usually tenor) with piano. The title page of the original edition (S. A. Steiner, Vienna) bore a dedication with permission to Fürst Joseph Franz von Lobkowitz, Duke of Raudnitz, a leading Austrian musical patron, in whose palace the <a href="http://en.instr.scorser.com/CC/Orchestra/Ludwig+van+Beethoven/Symphony+No.+3.html">Eroica Symphony</a> was first performed in 1804; Beethoven also dedicated the six string quartets, Op. 18, the Eroica Symphony, Op. 55, the <a href="http://en.instr.scorser.com/CC/Orchestra/Ludwig+van+Beethoven/Triple+Concerto.html">Triple Concerto, Op. 56</a>, the <a href="http://en.instr.scorser.com/CC/Orchestra/Ludwig+van+Beethoven/Symphony+No.+5.html">C minor Symphony, Op. 67</a>, the <a href="http://en.instr.scorser.com/CC/Orchestra/Ludwig+van+Beethoven/Symphony+No.+6.html">Pastoral Symphony, Op. 68</a>, and the <a href="http://en.instr.scorser.com/CC/Orchestra/Ludwig+van+Beethoven/String+Quartet+No.+10.html">String Quartet, Op. 74</a> to him.</div><div class="p">The text was written by a physician named Alois Isidor Jeitteles, probably at Beethoven's request. Jeitteles had published several short verses, economic in style, in Viennese magazines or almanacks, particularly Selam and Aglaja, and was making his name as a poet. He was an active, selfless young man who later distinguished himself by working tirelessly for his patients during a dreadful cholera epidemic and mortality in Brno. Jeitteles's poetic sequence An die ferne Geliebte was written in 1815 when he was 21. Beethoven was acquainted with both Alois and his cousin Ignaz Jeitteles [de]; the composer's early biographer <a href="http://en.instr.scorser.com/C/Orchestra/Anton+Schindler/All/Popularity.html">Anton Schindler</a> recorded that Beethoven thanked Jeitteles for the inspiration he provided, but it is not clear whether Jeitteles wrote the poems specifically for Beethoven or whether Beethoven first saw them on publication.</div><div class="p">Beethoven had already explored inward feelings of longing in <a href="http://en.instr.scorser.com/CC/Orchestra/Ludwig+van+Beethoven/Adelaide.html">his setting</a> of Matthisson's poem "Adelaide", but in these poems the distance from the beloved is greater, the longing is more intense and stormier, and is no longer satisfied with merely the sound of her name, but is preoccupied with the clawing pain of separation which colours the whole surrounding landscape. <a href="http://en.instr.scorser.com/C/Orchestra/Max+Friedlaender/All/Popularity.html">Max Friedlaender</a> regarded the entire composition as autobiographical in meaning, and the subject of the composer's longing to be none other than the unsterbliche Geliebte, the Immortal Beloved of his letters of July 1812.</div><div class="p">More recently Birgit Lodes has argued that both text and the title page of the first edition refer to a lover far away in "heaven".</div><div class="p">The whole sequence is through-composed, so that none of the songs stands alone. The different moods of the six episodes are expressed in different key and time signatures, working from E-flat major in the first song through G major (and briefly C major) in the second to A-flat major in the third and fourth, and thence back through C to E-flat. With their underlying thematic linkage, each of the songs is carried without break into the next: a short bridge passage connects 2 and 3, and the last note of 3 is held through the first three bars of the accompaniment to 4 and proceeds into Diese Wolken almost without a breath. The final strophe of 4 has an accelerando leading directly into the vivace of 5.</div><div class="p">Unlike the Schubert–Müller song cycles, the six songs or episodes of An die ferne Geliebte do not form a chronological narrative leading towards a conclusion. Beethoven himself called it Liederkreis an die ferne Geliebte, i.e. a circle or ring of song, and it is so written that the theme of the first song reappears as the conclusion of the last, forming a 'circle' (Kreis) – a ring in the figurative sense of a finger-ring as a love-token – rather than a 'cycle' (Zyklus) in the sense of a programme or drama. This thematic revolution is also expressed in the emotion and conceit of the words.</div><div class="p">A performance takes about 15 minutes.</div><div class="p">1. Auf dem Hügel sitz ich spähend  Auf dem Hügel sitz ich spähend In das blaue Nebelland, Nach den fernen Triften sehend, Wo ich dich, Geliebte, fand.  Weit bin ich von dir geschieden, Trennend liegen Berg und Tal Zwischen uns und unserm Frieden, Unserm Glück und unsrer Qual.  Ach, den Blick kannst du nicht sehen, Der zu dir so glühend eilt, Und die Seufzer, sie verwehen In dem Raume, der uns theilt  Will denn nichts mehr zu dir dringen, Nichts der Liebe Bote sein? Singen will ich, Lieder singen, Die dir klagen meine Pein!  Denn vor Liebesklang entweichet Jeder Raum und jede Zeit, Und ein liebend Herz erreichet Was ein liebend Herz geweiht!  2. Wo die Berge so blau  Wo die Berge so blau Aus dem nebligen Grau Schauen herein, Wo die Sonne verglüht, Wo die Wolke umzieht, Möchte ich sein!  Dort im ruhigen Tal Schweigen Schmerzen und Qual Wo im Gestein Still die Primel dort sinnt, Weht so leise der Wind, Möchte ich sein!  Hin zum sinnigen Wald Drängt mich Liebesgewalt, Innere Pein Ach, mich zög's nicht von hier, Könnt ich, Traute, bei dir Ewiglich sein!  3. Leichte Segler in den Höhen  Leichte Segler in den Höhen, Und du, Bächlein klein und schmal, Könnt mein Liebchen ihr erspähen, Grüßt sie mir viel tausendmal.  Seht ihr, Wolken, sie dann gehen Sinnend in dem stillen Tal, Laßt mein Bild vor ihr entstehen In dem luft'gen Himmelssaal.  Wird sie an den Büschen stehen Die nun herbstlich falb und kahl. Klagt ihr, wie mir ist geschehen, Klagt ihr, Vöglein, meine Qual.  Stille Weste, bringt im Wehen Hin zu meiner Herzenswahl Meine Seufzer, die vergehen Wie der Sonne letzter Strahl.  Flüstr' ihr zu mein Liebesflehen, Laß sie, Bächlein klein und schmal, Treu in deinen Wogen sehen Meine Tränen ohne Zahl!  4. Diese Wolken in den Höhen  Diese Wolken in den Höhen, Dieser Vöglein muntrer Zug, Werden dich, o Huldin, sehen. Nehmt mich mit im leichten Flug!  Diese Weste werden spielen Scherzend dir um Wang' und Brust, In den seidnen Locken wühlen. Teilt ich mit euch diese Lust!  Hin zu dir von jenen Hügeln Emsig dieses Bächlein eilt. Wird ihr Bild sich in dir spiegeln, Fließ zurück dann unverweilt!  5. Es kehret der Maien, es blühet die Au  Es kehret der Maien, es blühet die Au, Die Lüfte, sie wehen so milde, so lau, Geschwätzig die Bäche nun rinnen.  Die Schwalbe, die kehret zum wirtlichen Dach, Sie baut sich so emsig ihr bräutlich Gemach, Die Liebe soll wohnen da drinnen.  Sie bringt sich geschäftig von kreuz und von quer Manch weicheres Stück zu dem Brautbett hierher, Manch wärmendes Stück für die Kleinen  Nun wohnen die Gatten beisammen so treu, Was Winter geschieden, verband nun der Mai, Was liebet, das weiß er zu einen.  Es kehret der Maien, es blühet die Au. Die Lüfte, sie wehen so milde, so lau. Nur ich kann nicht ziehen von hinnen.  Wenn alles, was liebet, der Frühling vereint, Nur unserer Liebe kein Frühling erscheint, Und Tränen sind all ihr Gewinnen.  6. Nimm sie hin denn, diese Lieder  Nimm sie hin denn, diese Lieder, Die ich dir, Geliebte, sang, Singe sie dann abends wieder Zu der Laute süßem Klang.  Wenn das Dämmrungsrot dann zieht Nach dem stillen blauen See, Und sein letzter Strahl verglühet Hinter jener Bergeshöh;  Und du singst, was ich gesungen, Was mir aus der vollen Brust Ohne Kunstgepräng erklungen, Nur der Sehnsucht sich bewußt:  Dann vor diesen Liedern weichet Was geschieden uns so weit, Und ein liebend Herz erreichet Was ein liebend Herz geweiht.</div></body></html>
