Ludwig Achim von Arnim

Ludwig Achim von Arnim is considered one of the most important representatives of Heidelberg Romanticism. His collection of folk songs, Des Knaben Wunderhorn, which he published together with Clemens Brentano, had a strong influence on the following generation, including Heine and Mörike. Between 1887 and 1891, Gustav Mahler composed piano songs and later orchestral songs, which greatly increased their popularity. But apart from this work, von Arnim also wrote for a wide variety of genres.
