Tieck

Brahms set to music only 15 of the 18 texts sung by characters in Ludwig Tieck’s novella “Romance of the Fair Magelone and Count Peter of Provence.”

Another German word, coined by the romantic poet Ludwig Tieck.

Blond EckbertLudwig Tieck's dark, incestuous folk-tale brought to eerie, economical, melodic life.

An end had already come to the brilliant epoch at Jena, when the romantic poets, Tieck, Novalis and the Schlegels made it the headquarters of their fantastic mysticism, and Fichte turned the results of Kant into the banner of revolutionary ideas.

He was, said Tieck, the “model of a light and rapid talent,” and his plays, as might be expected from his rate of production, bear little trace of artistic elaboration.
