Summary/Abstract: In this article, the first part of the Schubertian vocal cycle Winterreise is analyzed: interpretative recommendations are proposed for overcoming the difficulties as a whole. The elaboration of the artistic concept of interpretation, the interaction between two components – poetic and musical, the relationship between two parts: vocal and instrumental, the types of fabric of the ensemble, the development of the partner qualities of both members are discussed. It is concluded that the vocal part in Winterreise is the basic carrier of the concrete meaning of the words, but the piano part plays the role not only of supporting the voice, but is also a significant constructive component of the creation. The accompaniment is important from the point of view of the harmonic and thematic processes of the cycle. The elements of instrumental figurativeness give the music visibility and tangible reality. The material of the article can be used as a methodological support in academic disciplines such as Lied and Concert Mastery. This work may also be useful to performers interested in chamber vocal ensemble issues.
