Mainz : Schott ; Frankfurt am Main : mit Genehmigung des Verlags Friedrich Hormeister, [1911, 1914], 1914. Very Good. 295 pp. ; Edition Schott; 4055 ; hrsg. von Hans Breuer, unter Mitw. vieler Wandervögel ; M. Genehmigung d. Verl. Friedrich Hofmeoster, Leipzig ; OCLC: 176910724 ; This distinctly German songbook was published by the physician Hans Breuer, who in 1904 as a medical student influenced by the then-popular Wandervogel movement, began wandering the countryside in his free time gathering folk songs. By 1908 he had published the first set of these in Darmstadt as Der Zupfgeigenhansl, or "The Pick-Fiddle John". The publishing history of Der Zupfgeigenhansel is extremely convoluted, but in later editions, the collection usually contains about 260 songs and is divided into 16 themes: Parting -- Minnedienst, or Chivalry -- Love Plaints -- Ballads -- Sacred Songs -- Evensongs -- Joy -- Summer -- Journeying Songs -- Sea Songs -- Parlor Songs -- Soldier's Songs -- Festive Songs -- Rural Songs -- Dance -- Rounds. A number of the songs in these later editions were gathered from song collecting in the field, others were collected from older published sources, but the main source was the songbooks published by Böhme, as well as works by Herder, Zuccalmaglio's German Folksongs, and some from Das Knaben Wunderhorn by Brentano and Arnim, plus the Deutschen Liederhort by Erk and Böhme. Also, the older manuscript sources like the Carmina Burana or the Lochamer Liederbuch have contributed a few items. ; German contents : Abschied -- Minnedienst -- Liebesklage -- Balladen -- Geistliche -- L ieder -- Am -- Abend -- Freude -- Sommerlust -- Auf -- der -- Landstraße -- Auf -- Schiffen -- und -- Rollwägen -- Spinnstube -- Soldatenlieder -- Schlemmlieder -- Beim -- Bauer -- Tanz -- Schnurren ; text in German ; yellow cloth with black letteri ng and design ; illustrated throughout with silhouettes by Hermann Pfeiffer ; spine a little worn, else VG
