Quasthoff said of the Schumanns the beauty of the coda is unmatched... must say Anne has not only a powerful voice but her musicality brings out Clara's heart and intention... beautiful music, beautiful singing and playing... stole a tear or 100. Brave! (Feminine Bravo)
Ich stand in dunklen Träumen, Und starrte ihr Bildnis an Und das geliebte Antlitz Heimlich zu leben begann. Um ihre Lippen zog sich Ein Lächeln wunderbar, Und wie von Wehmutstränen Erglänzte ihr Augenpaar. Auch meine Tränen flossen Mir von den Wangen herab, Und ach, ich kanns nicht glauben, Dass ich dich verloren hab!
Ahhh sorry I'm not very active these days... Hmmmm I'm really having a hard time finding it, but I'd recommend checking Susan McClary's essays, and there's this essay I have from JSTOR by Paula Higgins titled "Women in Music, Feminist Criticism, and Guerrilla Musicology: Reflections on Recent Polemic". I'm sorry I can't be of any further help! I remember we talked about it in Musicology but I can't pinpoint the exact essay right now. Sorry!! Best of luck
