dc.description.abstractAddresses the concept of Orientalism, a historical shift in musical structure, and the suitability of texts for various musical structures by examining two settings of a poem by Goethe. The poem Suleika, of Goethe's West-Östlicher Divan, is analyzed in terms of an East-West dichotomy and of Goethe's expressed concerns about the proper musical setting of a poetic text. The concept of Orientalism is also at play in settings of the poem by Schubert and Carl Friedrich Zelter.
