Richard Strauss
Written in D major, range D4 to A5
A love song at full speed: “If you knew what it is to dream of burning kisses,” the singer cries, “you would come to me”, and at the end, “you would live with me!” Strauss wrote it on 9 September 1894, the day before his wedding to the soprano Pauline de Ahna, as one of four songs he gave her as a wedding present; the piano part is Strauss’s own.
