Description
In Goethe’s novel Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship, the girl Mignon embodies the longing for Italy. In the novel, she sings the song "Kennst du das Land, wo die Zitronen blühn" (Do you know the country where the lemon trees flower). Charles Gounod set a free translation of the text by Louis Gallet in 1871. At the "appassionato", melodies heavy with longing over a piano part with flowing triplet figurations express the wanderlust for the country where "die Orangen wie Gold glänzen"!
