What is Poem and music in the German lied from Gluck to Hugo Wolf about?

Most lied analyses, even in the few instances where critical attention is paid to the words, are written from the point of view of the music. My approach has been from the poem, in the conviction that this change of direction provides new insights. In discussing both poems and music, I have tried to keep the interested nonspecialist in mind. Musical illustrations are indispensable, but they have been made as uncomplicated as possible, and I have avoided technical terminology as much as I could. As a result, music specialists may on occasion find explanations and descriptions that could have been taken for granted, just as the literary scholar may sometimes come across explicit elaborations that to him seem self-evident. The thoroughness with which the different lieder are treated, as well as the proportionate attention given to words or music in each instance, varies greatly, in part to avoid monotony and repetitiousness, but chiefly to bring out what I considered most essential.
