Song cycles by Robert Schumann

cycle of poems by Adalbert von Chamisso, set to song by composers including Robert Schumann

Dichterliebe, ''A Poet's Love (composed 1840), is the best-known song cycle by Robert Schumann (Op. 48). The texts for its 16 songs come from the Lyrisches Intermezzo'' by Heinrich Heine, written in 1822–23 and published as part of Heine's Das Buch der Lieder. Along with the song cycles of Franz Schubert (Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise), Schumann's form the core of the genre in musical literature.
