A self-alienating desire: There are many interpretations of Franz Schubert’s “Schöne Müllerin”, which set texts by Wilhelm Müller to music. To begin with, Johannes Maria Staud approaches the cycle via the most subtle calibrations of sound in his instrumentation for ensemble. By adding new compositions to texts by the poet Emily Dickinson, he lends the “Fair Maid of the Mill” a voice of her own, giving space to her subjective experience of these fateful entanglements.
