Franz Schubert
Written in F major, range F4 to B♭5
A post horn sounds in the street: the mail coach (“die Post”) is coming, and the wanderer’s heart leaps, though it brings no letter for him; it comes from the town where his love once lived. The song opens the second half of Schubert’s Winterreise, written in October 1827 to poems by Wilhelm Müller; the piano part is Schubert’s own.
