Franz Schubert (1797 ‑ 1828)
Ständchen (Serenade)
The serenade is one of the last compositions by Franz Schubert. Together with other songs, he set the poem by Ludwig Rellstab to music between August and October 1828. It is believed that Schubert had planned a song cycle. Schubert's last songs are called Schwanengesang.
