Winter Journey (Winterreise, D. 911) is Schubert’s masterpiece composed near the end of his life. The song cycle not only expresses the beauty of poetry, but also reveals the melancholy that the composer immersed in knowing his own death is imminent. In Winter Journey, Schubert used several cyclic rhythms, which appeared in different patterns and recurred throughout the whole piece. These cyclic rhythms demonstrate the characteristics of a funeral march, and are structured upon the models of a typical funeral march. The repetition of the funeral rhythm not only renders a sense of unity to the whole work, but also reinforces the idea of the journey towards the end of life for the heartbroken wanderer expressed in the lyrics.
