He wrote choral music, an opera, incidental music and some chamber, orchestral and piano pieces, but only one non-vocal work still regularly performed is the “Italian Serenade” for string quartet, written in 1892 during one of his happier phases. His numerous songs (243 published), many of which are settings of [[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe|Goethe]] (51), Mörike (53), Eichendorf (20), and other another 90 in his Italian and Spanish “songbooks”, range from the humorous, erotic, or religious, to studies of nature, ballads, and narrative.
