Lieder is a genre of classical art song, typically for voice and piano, that emerged prominently in the 19th century, especially in Germany and Austria. Rooted in poetry, lieder settings are known for their expressive intimacy, nuanced interpretation, and close collaboration between singer and pianist. Composers like Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann helped define the style, which ranges from lyrical and melodic to dramatic and harmonically rich. Modern performers bring diverse vocal and interpretative approaches, ensuring the genre’s continued evolution while emphasizing textual clarity and emotional depth.
