Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt [poem] written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
- Comments
- In 1869 Tchaikovsky composed a song cycle "Six Romances" of which the last one - Нет, только тот, кто знал - was based on a translation by Lev Mei of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's "Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt" from his 1795 second novel "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre" (Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship). Tchaikovsky's setting is often known in English as "None but the Lonely Heart" and has been set in many vocal, choral and instrumental arrangements.
