Schubert, Franz. (1797–1828). [D. 911] Winterreise. Von Wilhelm Müller. In Musik gesetzt für eine Singstimme mit Begleitung des Pianoforte... 89stes Werk.. Vienna: Tobias Haslinger. [1828?]. First edition, later issue.

Pair of oblong engraved folios.Ite [Erste] Abtheilung (volume): [PN] T. H. 5101–5112; title + pp. 1-49 (with contents of both volumes to p. 2). IIte [Zweite] Abtheilung: [PN] T. H. 5113–5124; title + pp. 1–35 (with contents to p. 2). Titles of both volumes give the incorrect numbers "5101–5113" and list prices for both volumes: 1te Abth.: f3; 2te Abth.: f2.30. Volume 1: 10 x 13 inches (25.5 x 33.7 cm); Volume 2: 9.5 x 12.5 inches (24 x 31.6 cm). Early signature to lower right corner of title of volume 1; difficult to decipher ("Renk"?). Slightly foxed; first volume somewhat browned and in very good condition. Second volume in fine condition. Bound together in full vellum, probably ca. 1900 despite their different formats. Author and title in pencil and ink to front board and in ink to spine. 

A very early issue of the first edition. Deutsch describes the first issue of volume 1 (January 14, 1828) as listing only the price of volume 1, whereas the present copy states the prices of both volumes. Volume 2 was issued on December 30, 1828, after Schubert's death. DS 576; Hoboken 13, Nr 347; Hirsch, iv 567a.


Both volumes of the greatest and most profound song-cycle ever written. It is a bleak journey through winter to death; a journey from darkness to the most unfathomable bleakness in twenty-four songs from Gute Nacht ("Goodnight"), to the famously desolate Der Leiermann ("The hurdy-gurdy man"), with its piano-accompaniment representation of the relentless drone of the hurdy-gurdy. The cycle is a product of Schubert’s penultimate year, 1827, and was published in the following, Schubert correcting the proofs to the second part on his deathbed.
