Franz Schubert
In A♭ major, range E♭4 to G♭5
The title means “To be sung on the water”. Evening light dances on the waves around a gliding boat, the singer’s soul glides along with it, and time slips away on dewy wings. Schubert set Friedrich Leopold zu Stolberg’s poem in 1823, and Liszt later turned it into a famous piano solo; the piano part is Schubert’s own.
