Goethe’s libretto for the opera “Erwin und Elmire” became widely popular throughout the 18^th-century, especially known for being set to Princess Anna Amalia of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel’s music. This story, which Goethe adapted to his own short ballad, was first published in 1773 and has become known as an important work depicting the life and pretentions of the middle class.
