Ständchen

Music: Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
Words: Ludwig Rellstab (1799-1860)


Ständchen comes to us as a the fourth song of the cycle called Schwanengesang. Translated as “Swan Song,” Schwanengesang was composed in 1828, but not published until 1829, a few months after Schubert’s tragically early passing. The cycle contains poems of three different poets, and a case could be made that Schubert originally intended to publish settings of each poet separately. The cycle was actually named by the publisher Tobias Haslinger, who must have felt it appropriate to give the cycle it’s name, being that it was perhaps one of the last major works of Schubert. 

Ständchen is one of Schubert’s most beloved songs. The melody and piano accompaniment are both crystalline examples of compositional ideas being developed throughout a work. And it’s a love song, what could be better! Our protagonist calls to his love in the pain of his condition of infatuation. He hopes that the same sentiment will stir within her. 

Franz Peter Schubert (Austrian) was an extremely prolific composer given he only lived to be 31 years of age. He wrote over 600 lieder, ten symphonies (including the “Unfinished”), liturgical music, operas, incidental music, and a large body of chamber music and solo piano music. Schubert was one of the great early Romantic era composers, and the cornerstone of German lieder.
