Erlkönig (E Minor), Franz Schubert, Piano Accompaniment.

“Erlkönig”, by Franz Schubert (1797-1828) Piano Accompaniment played and recorded by Pianist Friend for Singers. "Erlkönig" is a renowned art song composed by Franz Schubert in 1815. The text is based on a poem of the same name written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. This composition is one of Schubert's most famous and frequently performed works. The poem "Erlkönig" tells the story of a father riding through a dark forest at night with his young son, who is terrified by the supernatural creature known as the Erlkönig (the Elf King). The Erlkönig, represented musically by a haunting and ominous melody, attempts to lure the boy away, promising him riches and other enticements. Despite the father's efforts to reassure and protect his son, the Erlkönig's sinister presence becomes increasingly menacing as the boy's fear escalates. In the end, the boy dies in his father's arms as they reach their destination. Schubert's musical setting masterfully captures the dramatic intensity and emotional depth of Goethe's poem. Through his use of distinct vocal lines for each character—the father, the son, and the Erlkönig—Schubert creates a vivid and gripping narrative, with the piano accompaniment providing a richly textured backdrop of galloping rhythms, dark harmonies, and eerie trills. "Erlkönig" is a prime example of Schubert's ability to evoke powerful emotions and vivid imagery through music. Its gripping storytelling, combined with its rich harmonic language and virtuosic piano writing, has cemented its status as one of the most iconic and enduring works in the art song repertoire.
