But in whatever he is describing, the pianoforte and the voice have always their own individuality. You cannot take anything away from his Lieder without spoiling the whole; and it is especially so with his instrumental passages, which give us the beginning and end of his emotion, and which circle round it and sum it up. The musical form, following closely the poetic form, is extremely varied.
Then silence descended upon the darkening room. Once more the bells pealed placidly and grotesquely through the calm evening. A little ashamed of his anger, old Schulz was lying on his back, motionless, waiting, breathless, for the tumult in his heart to die down. He was clasping the precious Lieder to his breast and laughing like a child.
He resuscitated them all, with as much sentiment, romance, passion, drama, as each individual case required, while Bertie Patterson sat in the fading light behind the great three-cornered screen of the up-tilted cover and clasped her hands and brought her generous idealizing faculty into its fullest play. Then he sang a few German lieder of a more contemporaneous cast.
Christophe had written mysterious dedications, initials, dates, which only he could understand, as they reminded Mm of poetic moments or beloved faces: the gay Corinne, the languishing Sabine, and the little unknown Frenchwoman. Besides this work he selected thirty of his Lieder those which pleased him most, and consequently pleased the public least.

But Verdi is luscious." "Yes, Verdi. I quite agree with your assessment. And Mozart, of course, is beyond reproach." "Positively. But I generally prefer the intimacy of lieder myself." "German?" She laughed and pointed her fork at him. "Not only German chansons as well." "I'm relieved to hear it." Professor Bridwell then put one hand into his pocket, and withdrew his silver cigarette case.
And, what thoughts were those of a Mendelssohn, a Brahms, a Schumann, and, following them, the whole legion of little writers of affected and tearful Lieder! Built on sand. Never rock. Wet and shapeless clay. It was all so foolish, so childish often, that Christophe could not believe that it never occurred to the audience.
The same year, a generous friend called Eckstein published his first collection of Lieder. Wolf up to that time had been smothered, but this publication stirred the life in him, and was the means of unloosing his genius.
