Reportedly, Schubert thought music was, according to its deepest nature, always sad — happy music is in fact inconceivable. If music is really an epitome for perfection, if the world of music arouses the illusion of an ideal world, then we, the audience may see music as the object of a boundless desire. Music therefore converts inaccessibility into apprehensible, and as such, it will always command affliction and sadness even if it appears in the veneer of a particularly happy reckless dance. Of course Schubert may have only implied that music was capable of talking instead of us in situations when no words may be found. When sadness dumbfounds, when ache paralises the voice. When loss seems unworkable. The Schubert song composed based on a Goethe ballad or the Mahler song cycle gathering the elegies of Friedrich Rückert is surely such, for it expresses an emotion particularly hard to articulate — the sorrow and dismay of the loss of a child.
