Description
Franz Schubert composed "An...(more) die Musik" (German for "To Music") in March 1817 for solo voice and piano, with text from a poem by his friend Franz Von Schober. In the Deutsch catalog of Schubert's works it is number 547, or D547. It was published in 1827 as Opus 88 No. 4 by Weigl.
A hymn to the art of music, it is one of the best-known songs by Schubert. Its greatness and popularity are generally attributed to its harmonic simplicity, sweeping melody, and a strong bass line that effectively underpins the vocal line.
