What is the Tone quality of gretchen am spinnrade

Answers 1

Gretchen am Spinnrade was composed by Franz Schubert. Schubert composed "Gretchen am Spinnrade" on 19 October 1814, three months before his eighteenth birthday. It was originally composed for the soprano voice, but it has also been transposed to accommodate mezzo-sopranos and other voice types.

The powerful story of Gretchen's seduction is told in Part One of Faust in a succession of scenes which the poet shuffled and expanded over the years. Sketches of the early and original Ur-Faust suggest that the anguish of Gretchen am Spinnrade follows her deflowering; she realises that she is pregnant and foresees the horrors of her future. The version Schubert would have read makes it easier to assume that Gretchen sings the song in a state of arousal, her innocence threatened but not yet lost. Either interpretation of the character is encompassed by the lyricism and the searing intensity of Schubert's setting.
