More listening and memorization work. I wrote out the texts several times. Writing always helps me because I'm not just thinking of the sound of the word, I'm getting the spelling right too which then makes my visual learning stronger. I'm fairly secure with the memorization on 3 of the 5 Brahms lieder now, and hope to get the other 2 down this week.
I've been listening to performances by several different artists. Today's favorite is Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's performance of Dein blaues Auge. His interpretation is closest to how I read this song. My favorite part is how free, easy and sweet the high note is on the last phrase. He just floats it.
