Adele’s Laughing Song is from “Die Fledermaus” by Johann Strauss. At this point in the opera, Adele, who is a maid is pretending to be a lady at a party at the request of her employer, Rosalinda. Rosalinda’s husband finds her familiar and Adele has to find a way to make sure he does not recognize her as his maid. She uses ridicule to convince him he cannot possibly be talking to a maid.
Nacht und Träume is from "Night and Dreams" is a lied for voice and piano by Franz Schubert, from a text by Matthäus von Collin, and published in 1825. In Otto Erich Deutsch's catalogue of Schubert's works, it is D. 827. The song, a meditation on night and dreams, is marked "Sehr langsam" (very slowly) and is in the key of B major (with a modulation to the flattened submediant, G major, in the middle). There is a single dynamic indication, "pianissimo" (very quietly), which does not change throughout the song. The piano plays broken chords in semiquavers for the song's duration in a manner similar to the bar in which the voice enters.
