"The edition of Schubert Lieder is of superb quality" (a customer, October 2011)

A small piece of new research information, since the publication of this book last October.

This new book presents a group of songs by Schubert whose piano accompaniments were arranged for guitar by Napoléon Coste, probably in about the 1830s, that is to say very soon after Schubert's time. Coste's guitar accompaniments are quite good and will be a valuable addition to the repertory for voice and guitar. At the time Coste was a student of Sor in Paris, and quite possibly these limpid and uncomplicated accompaniments may show Sor's influence. They have not previously been published in a new re-engraved edition in our own time, as far as I know.
Coste wrote his guitar accompaniment to French texts and it should be clearly understood that in this edition we have newly underlaid the original German text to his guitar accompaniments, for the convenience of those performers who may wish to sing these songs with the guitar with the original German text.
The songs are:
1. Gretchen am Spinnrade
2. Der Tod und das Mädchen
3. Ständchen (Leise flehen)
4. Sei mir gegrüsst
5. Das Fischermädchen
6. Schlummerlied
7. Des Mädchens Klage
8. Das Wandern
9. Wiegenlied (Schlafe, schlafe)
10. Ständchen (Horch, horch, die Lerch)
11. Adieu
12. Auf dem Wasser zu singen
13. Ave Maria
Those who wish to sing these songs with the French words that Coste set can find them in Tecla as online files.
The cover picture, by the way, shows a path leading to the infinite, by the side of a Bach, where a Müller might perhaps wandern.

The opportunity has also been taken now to publish separately, as another new Tecla publication, Beethoven's song “Adelaide” with its piano accompaniment arranged by Napoléon Coste for guitar.

Tecla also publishes:
- the charming small biography Napoléon Coste Compositeur / Composer, and
- a separate edition of Coste's La Source du Lyson, op. 47, for solo guitar, and
- a different book with Schubert songs with guitar accompaniments from Vienna from in or near Schubert's own time, edited by Thomas F. Heck: Schubert: Sixteen Songs with guitar accompaniment.

The engraving of this new edition is by Alexander V. Trukhin.
