Mahler Ruckert-Lieder Ich Atmet Einen Linden Duft (I Breathed A Gentle Fragrance)
b'
Ich atmet\\u2019 einen linden Duft is perhaps unique in musically evoking a fragrance, the delicate fragrance of the lime tree with which the poet associates his love. The color of the setting is still more transparent, and much brighter than \\u201cBlicke mir nicht.\\u201d The orchestration again consists of single winds, horn and harp, but only violins and violas are called for, and a celesta has been added. The continuing even motion in the strings suggests the quiet wafting of the scent through the air.
