The Austrian composer Schubert (1797-1828) is known as the "King of Songs" in the history of European music. Folklore at that time believed that swans would sing their most beautiful songs when they were about to die. Haslinger, a music publisher in Vienna, discovered Schubert's unpublished works shortly after his death. He believed that the fourteen songs he wrote six months before his death were his touching final works, so he compiled them into a collection. "Swan Song" was published under the name "Swan Song". The fourth song is this "Serenade", which was composed in 1828 using Rebstab's poem.

"Serenade", this is one of the last solo art songs completed by Schubert in his short life, and it is also one of Schubert's most famous works. This song is composed from a poem by German poet Lehrstab.

As one of the Western music genres, "Serenade" all takes love as its theme, and this "Serenade" is no exception. "My song floats gently through the night to you...", guided and enhanced by the sound of the six-stringed harp played on the piano, a young man's affectionate confession to his beloved girl rang out. As the emotion gradually sublimates, the tune reaches its climax for the first time, and the first section ends in a mood of pleading and anticipation. After the lyrical and tranquil interlude, the music shifts to the major key of the same name, "My dear, please listen to me and quickly fall into my arms." The mood is quite exciting, forming the climax of the whole song. Finally, there is the afterlude that extends from the second section, as if the song of love echoes in the melody of the nocturne. The piano interlude that appears between phrases is an echo of the singing voice, meaning the echo that the singer expects to hear.

The serenade originated in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. It was originally a song sung by men to woo their sweethearts at night, often accompanied by guitar or mandolin. The series of chord-like music progressions in the lower part of the piano music here simulate the sound pattern of guitar accompaniment, which is used to set off the quiet and soulful singing. Many composers at home and abroad have written serenades, and it is said that this one by Schubert is the most widely circulated. She can still be heard in concerts, tapes, and records.

Reason for creation:

One day, a friend of Schubert wrote a short poem for the birthday of a young girl. She asked Schubert to write a short poem, and he asked Shu composed a piece of music. Shu knew nothing about the girl, so he scribbled down some notes to his friend, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I don't have time to write anything more serious right now." His friend wrote this piece He took the music home. He tried it on the piano and liked it very much. So he made arrangements and asked Schubert to perform it for music lovers in person at the house of one of their friends. When the appointed time came, everyone arrived. Only Shu didn't come. The hostess was so anxious that she sent a good friend of Shu to search in small hotels all over the city, and finally found him in Shu's favorite place. When he was dragged into the living room without any explanation, she was very upset. I'm sorry to say that he completely forgot about it. Then he sat down and played the piece of music he had written randomly. After playing it, he couldn't help but said with tears in his eyes: "I didn't know it was so beautiful." The song is <>
