An die Musik

Franz Schubert

For tenor sax and piano

Written in F major, range E4 to A5

The title means “To Music”. It is a quiet thank-you to music itself, for all the grey hours in which it warmed the singer’s heart and carried them into a better world. Schubert wrote it in 1817, at twenty, to a poem by his friend Franz von Schober.
