Ständchen (Serenade), D.957 No. 4 – Franz Schubert | Harpsichord
Harpsichord transcription of Ständchen (Serenade), D.957 No. 4 by Franz Schubert.
Ständchen is part of Schubert’s song cycle Schwanengesang, composed in 1828 during the final year of his life. Originally written for voice and piano, the piece is defined by its flowing accompaniment and sustained melodic line, embodying a sense of nocturnal calm and introspection.
Presented here on the harpsichord, the serenade is approached through clarity of line and balanced pacing, allowing its lyrical character to unfold without reliance on Romantic pianistic resonance.
Bruno Martins is a harpsichordist and contemporary musician based in Paris.
