Master's anguish

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Meistersang strophe is a stanza form in New High German Meistersang . It corresponds to the form of the originally Italian canzone strophe in Middle High German minnesang .

In the basic form, the stanza is in three parts and consists of two identically built tunnels , which form the swan song , and a part in the swan song , i.e. according to the AA / B scheme. Often the complete or partial repetition of a tunnel is in the swan song (AA / BA or AA / BA ').

A master's angst strophe is about 20 to 30 verses on average. There are also short stanzas, for example with five verses, or long stanzas, for example with 100 or more verses. A Meistersanglied ( bar ) consists of at least three stanzas.

As an example, the second stanza from a didactic poem by Adam Puschman from 1568:

Singing 1. Stollen    

The singers should pay
attention to those who speak highly German,
That they bring them on the road,
They badly follow the Grammatica ,
And show that they are rightly understood,
More than all other languages.

Singing 2. Stollen

Wrong feline opinion was read,
Wrong Latin is gross disgrace ,
Blind opinion that does it from then,
Blind words are excellent for revenge,
Half words are excellent all sand, Pay attention to that
in the case.

Swan song

The wrong vices also
tighten , which change here,
the vocales like the diphthongi ,
wrong band the same,
also gantz and half aequiuocæ , mere
rhymes are perfect, the
same also Stutz or Pauß,
where there should be no pause,
also tightens alone,
Zwen Forget in a breath in,
The mites also tightly tighten,
If you break off the N at a word,
To Kurtz too long to be tightened
too, Behind yourself and for yourself, that
should be tightened all times.
