URTEXT EDITION 

This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here. This edition was published by Bärenreiter in Germany over 25 years ago and is in the public domain in its country of origin.

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland). In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States.

First published in 1969 under the title "Ich sass an einer Tempelhalle", which is the incipit of the song. However, the 1978 revised version of the Deutsch Catalogue, as well as the more current information listed in the Neue Schubert-Ausgabe website, both identify the title of the song as "Lebenstraum". The 1969 edition does not list an author for the text used in Schubert's sketch. It is now known that the poem was written by Gabriele von Baumberg (1766-1839), and was first published in 1805.

The song as it stands in its original form is a fragment. It has been completed by Reinhard van Hoorickx (1918-1997), who composed performing versions for many of Schubert's unfinished songs. Hoorickx's completion has been recorded by Detlef Roth and Ulrich Eisenlohr for the Naxos label, and by Stephen Varcoe and Graham Johnson for the Hyperion label.
