Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "E. G. Porter, sometime schoolmaster and music critic to the Daily Herald has made a lively study of the songs of Schubert. He has written widely on this subject in the leading musical journals and has made translations of many of the songs. In this, his fifth book, Mr. Porter carefully examines the composer's technique and gives a clear and fascinating exposition of how and why the great songs were written. Although Mr. Porter is aware of the major musicological conclusions of the Schubert scholars, he is alive to the necessity for giving the greatest help to the non-specialist reader. Thus significant quotations from German are given in English translation, while the appendices supply information about Schubert's poets and elucidate unfamiliar musical terms." --Dust jacket.
