Franz Schubert
In E♭ major, range F2 to A♭3
The title means “Frozen Stiff”, or numbness. In winter a rejected lover searches the snow for her footprints, where they once walked arm in arm across green fields, and wants to melt the ice with his tears. His heart is frozen, and her picture is frozen inside it: if it ever thaws, the picture will flow away. It is the fourth song of Winterreise, the cycle of 24 poems by Wilhelm Müller that Schubert set in 1827; the piano part is Schubert’s own.
