"Using Schumann's Eichendorff Liederkreis as his primary example, David Ferris proposes
a new conception of the Romantic cycle. Rather than try to demonstrate that the cycle
of songs creates a unified whole, he focuses on the ways in which the fragmentary
and open-ended nature of the individual song implies a connection to something beyond
itself. As Schumann experiments with small-scale form in his songs, he taps into our
innate desire for closure, and thus creates the need for a larger context within which
the individual piece can be placed. The context that the cycle provides, however,
is itself discontinuous and open-ended, and so the tension between openness and closure
is simply replicated on a higher level. In this way Schumann responds, in musical
terms, to the Romantic themes of transcendence, ineffability, and infinite yearning
that are central to the poetry that he set."--BOOK JACKET
