This blog is intended to be a fascinating, interesting view of the life and times of Fin de Siecle composers in Vienna at the turn of the 19th to 20th Century. It's written by singers and accompanists in my Fin de Ciecle class at the Longy School of Music of Bard College during the Fall semester 2014. and we particularly hope that it is of help to other singers who want to perform this music.
