description: A seminal reference work on the songs of Schubert, the most prolific composer of German lieder, or art song, in the 19th century. Capell's volume was published at a time when there was still limited understanding of the extent of Schubert's back-catalogue, meaning for example he doesn't use the numbering that is now standard almost 100 years after publication. This is still regarded as a key text on Schubert's lieder.
