There are a few more Lieder, fresh off the press, for your perusal and
delectation.
The last one is an ode on Ludwig Hölty's death at the age of 28 in 1776
(Hölty has been the lyricist of many recent items posted). In this
particular case JFR is the poet, the composer is his wife- Juliane Benda,

That distortion could lead to perforation, especially
