Serenade

Description

Ständchen [Serenade] was one of the most famous Lieder composed by Franz Schubert. Based on a poem by the German poet Ludwig Rellstab, this declaration of passionate love in the form of a serenade inspired a large number of transcriptions and adaptations. Among the most remarkable is that by Franz Liszt who, in Ständchen, explores all the lyrical expressiveness of the piano. The musical text includes a simplified version notated below the original one by Franz Liszt.
