Música, palavra e sentido no Lied romântico: uma análise da canção Waldesgespräch, de Robert Schumann
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article presents an analysis of the song Waldesgespräch (Op. 39, No. 4), composed by Robert Schumann (1810–1856) based on the poem by Joseph von Eichendorff (1788–1857), with the aim of examining the relationship between music and text in the construction of meaning in the work. The study begins with a consideration of aesthetic issues related to the Lied genre in German Romanticism, as well as Schumann’s own reflections found in his critical writings. Subsequently, various musical aspects—such as harmony, rhythm, dynamics, and texture—are analyzed in light of these reflections, in order to understand how they interact with the meaning conveyed by the poem. The article concludes that, rather than merely reflecting the meaning of the words, the music contributes additional layers of meaning, going beyond what is expressed in the text.
