Ein Abend in Pöseldorf

“As a foundation there is, of course, the very German classical genre of the Lied. A melody suited to singing and set to a piano illustrating the lyrics with comments. But here, tradition, song and instrument clash. A sort of recitative was cultivated, the lyrics were more or less improvised, melodies were crumbled into tiny bits to be joined together in exhilarating sound shocks.”
—Thomas Millroth
