Ep. 299 – An in-depth look at Godefroid’s Fantasie on Schubert’s “Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt”

Today’s Harp Tuesday episode (299) is an in-depth look at a beautiful Godefroid “Fantasy” on a Schubert Song. The sheet music for this (public domain) can be found at the harp archives: https://archive.org/details/colemlodiquepour01gode/page/2/mode/2up

I filmed a music video of the piece:

The Schubert song that the Fantasie is based on is called “Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt” (from D.877) which itself is based on a Goethe poem.
