Reviews
<br>. ..ambitious and often provocative study of Schumann's great Eichendorff cycle. --Current Musicology<br> Ferris's book is a welcome addition to Oxford's 'Schumann Series.' It is refreshing to read a study of the Romantic song cycle whose primary focus is not Dichterliebe....Most of Ferris's musical analysis....grows out of equally poetic analysis. Just as he is able to probe beneath the apparent simplicity of the poetry, so does he locate ambiguities and complexities in Schumann's deceptively simple musical settings. --Music Theory Online<br>
