The “Six Lieder of Marina Tsvetayeva, Op143” were composed in 1973. The poetess Marina Tsvetayeva was a piano pupil of Anton Rubinstein & belongs – as Detlef Gojowy once wrote – “with her moving fate – emigration, non-conformity in emigration, return to the Soviet Russia, execution of her husband, camp incarceration of her daughter, suicide after practical prohibition of her profession, to the tragic cases & mortgages of Russian cultural history.” Her works were received only very hesitantly.
