Good morning, I am here to ask with which analytical methodology you would approach Lieder and specifically those of Schubert.

Do you know if there are specific texts on the subject (also in English)?

Thank you in advance

I read this book some time ago, interesting, worth knowing. A pity about the various inaccuracies...

I would like to point out a recently translated text published by Astrolabio

Thrasybulos G. Georgiades

SCHUBERT. MUSIC AND LYRICS

The Lied and the structure of Schubert's music. Edited by Maurizio Giani

I had missed this post

For example, some Lieder are analyzed in keys different from the original one and it happens that there is some blunder, but as I was saying, I believe it is a text worth knowing.
