Schubert Serenade

This solo-piano piece is a transcription of the fourth song, Ständchen (Serenade), from Franz Schubert's song-collection Schwanengesang (Swan Song), D 957. The lyrics for the song are from a poem by Ludwig Rellstab. Ständchen is one of Schubert's best-loved songs.

Franz Schubert (1797 - 1828) was an Austrian composer. He wrote over six hundred lieder (songs), nine symphonies (including the famous Unfinished Symphony), liturgical music, operas, some incidental music, numerous pieces of chamber music, and a large body of solo piano music.

Renowned for his magnificent melodies, he was perhaps even more proficient at creating music of extraordinary depth and emotional power. And despite his tragically short life, Franz Schubert is widely considered to be one of the greatest of all composers.
