New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

Zwei sind der Wege, auf welchen der Mensch zur Tugend emporstrebt,
Schließt sich der eine dir zu, thut sich der andre dir auf.

Wohl ihm, den sein Geschick liebend auf beiden geführt.

Les deux chemins de la vertu
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Il y a deux chemins sur lesquels l'homme s'efforce vers la vertu,
Si l'un se ferme à toi, l'autre s'ouvre à toi.
L'homme fortuné la conquiert en agissant, le souffrant en patientant.
Heureux celui que son destin a conduit sur les deux chemins.
