Ex. 10-4: Liebst du um Schönheit

From Clara Schumann's Lieder (Op. 12), composed in 1841 to a poem by Friedrich Rückert. Like "Er ist gekommen" (Op. 12 No. 1), this song also appears in the joint cycle Liebesfrühling (Op. 37) that Clara and Robert published together — this one as No. 4.

The same Rückert poem was later set by Gustav Mahler as No. 4 of his Rückert-Lieder (1902), making it one of the few texts composed by both a 19th-century woman composer and a major symphonist.
