Das Wandern

Franz Schubert

For horn and piano

Written in F major, range C4 to C5

The title means “Wandering”. A young miller sets off on the road and sings that wandering is a miller’s joy, learned from the water, the mill wheels and the millstones that never rest. It opens Schubert’s song cycle Die schöne Müllerin (1823); fittingly, the poet was called Wilhelm Müller, and Müller is German for miller.
