On the ramparts of the Wartburg, the greatest minstrels of the age duel in song - and one gambles his soul on dark sorcery. The Contest of the Singers conjures the legendary world of medieval Germany.

First published in 1818 within The Serapion Brethren, this stirring tale reimagines the fabled song-contest of the thirteenth century, where poets such as Heinrich von Ofterdingen and Wolfram von Eschenbach compete and a pact with a sinister sorcerer threatens all. Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776 - 1822), born in Königsberg, East Prussia, was a composer and a central figure of German Romanticism, and music sings through every page.
