Explore the Schwanengesang, D.957 virtual piano sheet and Roblox piano sheet, compare available arrangements, and play online with QWERTY notes. Schwanengesang, D. 957, is a collection of songs by Franz Schubert rather than a single piece. The traditional fourteen-song collection comprises thirteen songs catalogued as D. 957 and 'Die Taubenpost,' D. 965A. The settings were composed in 1828, the final year of his life, and published the year after. The set draws on poetry by Ludwig Rellstab, Heinrich Heine, and Johann Gabriel Seidl. Its title, Swan Song, is bound up with the posthumous publication rather than with Schubert's own designation, and among its numbers is Ständchen, the serenade that has long had a life of its own. The catalog entry is a community arrangement of that one number. The selected score sets Ständchen for flute and piano, an instrumentation that belongs to the arrangement and not to Schubert's original voice-and-piano songs.
