An die Hoffnung
[edit]
Anna Erler-Schnaudt
- ... that Max Reger conducted the premiere of "An die Hoffnung" (To Hope), a setting of Hölderlin's poem, and his only orchestral song, with contralto Anna Erler-Schnaudt (pictured)? Source: [1] for performance, [2] for "only": "einzige originale Arbeit für Singstimme und Orchester"
- ALT1 ..."An die Hoffnung" (To Hope) was Max Reger's only attempt at orchestral song?

New enough, valid sources, no copyright infringement, the hook is correctly referenced. Length is okay, although some more details on the poem itself (when was it written?) wouldn't hurt; also, maybe do not repeat twice that Reger composed the work in 1912 in Meiningen. I propose an alternative, shorter hook, too. Edelseider (talk) 19:31, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you, - I think we need to mention Hölderlin, because there's also Beethoven's [3] on a different poem. I love mentioning singers, and especially this one who did great things for him, and didn't mind being called Venus of Kilo ;) - I also believe the English-language readers can grasp "orchestral song" better than "Lied for orchestra". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:45, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
