Important note: The performer's guide is in its initial phases. Currently only approximately 550 musical settings of Heine's earliest poems are indexed and/or reviewed on this site, i.e. those lyrics in "Junge Leiden," the first section of Buch der Lieder (1827). This project will be extended gradually into later portions of Buch der Lieder, and then into later collections of Heine's poetry.

For complete citations to over 8200 Heine settings for one or two voices go to the Heine Lieder Query website or go to the list of Poems in published order.
