“It becomes clear in the song that he’s hoping that the cemetery will ‘take him in’ as a lodger. The cemetery, however, is full, and can’t accommodate him. And so the Wanderer does what he knows how to do, which is to continue.”
| Alec Duffy, Winter Journey
Alec Duffy probes his father’s lifelong obsession with Schubert’s late masterwork, the Winterreise song cycle.
