The Original Müllerin

Please click here to download the Texts & Translations for this event.

Wilhelm Müller’s poems, which were set by Schubert in Die schöne Müllerin, were originally written for a performance in 1816 at the Berlin salon of Privy Councillor von Stägemann. Müller was in love with Luise Hensel, later the sister-in-law of Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn, and himself played the role of the rejected young miller, with music written by Ludwig Berger. Jennifer Ronyak (University of Music and Performing Arts Graz) and a superb team of musicians recreate this salon in the fun and informal setting of Freud’s.

Please note: this event is now in The Levine Building, Trinity College
