Geistliches Lied
- ... that the opening of the Geistliches Lied by Johannes Brahms possibly references Clara Schumann's fantasy of playing her husband's music on the organ? Source: Swafford 1997, p. 157

Article is new enough and plenty long enough, and properly cited. The online Swafford, Oxford Lieder and Geiringer sources (and the Brahms) check out. The hook is usable as it is, but given that Clara was Brahms's love interest, perhaps someone can think of a spicier hook. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:49, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion, but I haven't found anything in my sources explicitly linking this work to the Brahms-Clara love relationship. Rather, Donat suggests it was to console Clara during her husband's illness. GeneralPoxter (talk • contribs) 14:47, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
