5 Gesänge, Op. 72 (Brahms)
Movements
i Alte Liebe. Bewegt, doch nicht zu sehr ii Sommerfäden. Andante con moto iii O Kühler Wald. Langsam iv Verzagen. Bewegt v Unüberwindlich. Vivace
Notes
In 1876-77, Brahms wrote five Gesänge. Alte Liebe; Sommerfäden; O Kühler Wald; Verzagen; and Unüberwindlich. He seems to have saved the highest quality songs in this great outpouring published between the first two symphonies. Minor poets (Candidus and Lemcke) are joined with great ones (Brentano and Goethe).
