THIS COLLECTION AROSE after the conference German Song Onstage 1789–1914, which took place at the Royal College of Music and Wigmore Hall in February 2016. We are grateful to the following institutions for financial and other support: the German Historical Institute, the Royal College of Music, Wigmore Hall, Music and Letters, the British Academy, the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, TORCH (The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities), and Music Talks. We are also grateful to Janice Frisch and the staff of Indiana University Press for seeing this volume to production and to the anonymous readers for their extremely helpful suggestions. Finally, thanks to all our contributors and, as always, our families.
