Serenade or St\u00e4ndchan, the piece’s original name, which means serenade in German was composed by Franz Schubert in 1826.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the medieval tradition of\u00a0minnesinger, serenading was used primarily for\u00a0courtship, with the singer accompanying himself on the\u00a0harp\u00a0or\u00a0lyre.\u00a0This tradition was continued for a long time: the\u00a0serenade in front of the beloved’s balcony<\/em>\u00a0is a popular tradition\u00a0of European culture, which is reflected in art songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from love, there are many other uses for prepared or spontaneous\u00a0serenades<\/em>, for example for birthdays weddings, or Mother’s Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Franz Peter Schubert was born in 1797 in Vienna, Austria.
