Abendempfindung KV 523 This Lied was composed by Mozart in 1787, the great year of Don Giovanni KV 527 and Eine Kleine Nachtmusick KV 525, but also the year of Lieder. Like "Als Luise die Briefe ihres Ungetreuen Liebhabers verbrannte" KV 520, this lied is a masterpiece which prepares the ground to Schubert's great songs. It is the longest lied Mozart ever composed (110 bars and a running time of about 5 minutes), and the verses well represent one of the peculiar aspects of Mozart's personality: that self-possessed sorrow which is found so often in his works, even the most joyful ones. |
