"Gretchen am Spinnrade" (Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel), Op. 2, D. 118, is not a work by Carl Adalbert Herrmann but a lied composed by Franz Schubert in 1814. This masterpiece is one of Schubert's most famous art songs and marks a significant development in the genre of the lied. The text of the song is taken from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's "Faust," specifically a passage where Gretchen is at her spinning wheel, deeply lost in thoughts of Faust, with whom she is hopelessly in love. Schubert's composition captures the emotional turmoil and longing expressed in Goethe's text, utilizing the piano to mimic the spinning wheel's continuous motion and the rising and falling emotions of Gretchen. This lied is celebrated for its innovative use of the piano as an integral part of the storytelling, effectively intertwining with the vocal line to enhance the narrative and emotional depth of the piece. "Gretchen am Spinnrade" stands as a testament to Schubert's genius in setting narrative poetry to music, significantly influencing the development of the Romantic lied.
