Marschner(1795-1861) was regarded as of the most important composers in Germany in the nineteenth century, a friend of Beethoven and Mendelssohn and a strong influence on Schumann. Particularly well known for opera and lieder, his chamber works also have an operatic and vocal quality, especially in their beautiful and distinctive melodies.
