I've been trying to Analize a Lied by Schubert, and I just can't make any sense of the harmonies. Does anyone know if there is a web page that can help me with this?
The name of the Lied is "Klarcchens Lied" By Schubert.
I'll apreciate any help

Without the music, its really difficult to help you.
Hang on, I found it...give me a few to take a look at it and see if I can help.
Dang it, sorry, I thought I had found a source, but I hadn't. I did manage to see online the first line, and if its any help, the key signature suggested Bb Major (if I recally correctly), the first triad was an inversion? of the I chord, Bb, d, and f. Things you might see within the course of the piece, would be a switch to G minor (possibly) which would be indicated by f sharps, as well as M, m, substitutions, the 6 chords (German, Italian, and is it French?), Also watch for Neopolitan chords. I believe that they were popular by then, along with chromaticism. Remember too, that often in music analysis, one chord doesn't always have one answer as to "what it is" sometimes there are multiple ways to interpret it. If you run into that, try and map out which alternative seems to fit best. If none seems better than the other, choose one and make an argument, or even better, explain why other answer would work.
Usually, as long as you can intelligently make your case, and a s long as its grounded in reason and the music in front of you, they will accept it.
its not nearly as cut and dried as many seem to believe!.
Sorry I couldn't have seen the piece and been of more help!
I think Shubert and his ilk really got
