Vogelweise – Bird Song – Johanna Senfter – Christiane Maier

Edited by Christiane Maier. Piano solo, intermediate level. This character piece is still firmly rooted in the Romantic tradition of descriptive musical imagery. An early work, its formal structure is characterised by onglike thematic phrases, softly flowing melodies with occasional chromatic turns and memorable rhythmic patterns. The harmonic language is an extension of late Romantic tonality.
