Instrumentation: Mixed Choir, Solos and Piano for 4 hands

Structure: 10 movements

Duration: approx. 25 minutes

The Lenz- und Liebeslieder op. 72 by Hans Huber are an exceptionally complex piece of music. The individual movements vary a lot in instrumentation and character, which makes the composition colourful. If no soloists are available, most of the movements can also be performed with just a choir. As the instrumentation is identical with that of the Liebeslieder Waltzes by Johannes Brahms, the Lenz- und Liebeslieder are an ideal complement to Brahms' composition.
