Somewhat worn and aged, particularly to corners. No markings found. From Hyperion Records:This beautiful and unique piece of music seems typical of the last Schubert year in that it is dominated by thoughts of Beethoven: in writing it Schubert was both paying homage to the memory of his great musical forbear, and establishing his right to be considered Beethoven’s natural, and worthy, successor. It is fairly certain that Schubert began work on this pièce d’occasion only once he had decided to hold his public concert, the first and only event of this kind in his life, on the first anniversary of Beethoven’s death – March 26, 1828. Rellstab could not have written this text with a tribute to Beethoven in mind – in fact it is almost certain that he had hoped that Beethoven himself would set it to music; but the use to which Schubert put these words is a good illustration of his ability to evaluate the myriad hidden messages in any poem. He saw in an instant how it was ideally suited to commemorate the great composer. It was a poem of farewell (and, by implication, life’s final parting) where the narrator is cut off from other human contact (this splendid isolation immediately suggests the older composer) as much in life as in death. In Auf dem Strom Schubert has relinquished the subjectivity of the poem’s ‘ich’ in honour of the great man; and of course we are moved by the fact that we know that his own leave-taking was only some eight months away.
