Description
A piano arrangement of Schubert's lullaby, lasting only about 40 seconds. Its simple melodic line and gentle accompaniment evoke the tender scene of a child being sung to sleep. With just around 221 notes, it calls for smooth legato phrasing and a soft touch despite its brevity; an intermediate-level piece, it also has real value as a study in how much carefully shaped soft playing can be packed into such a short span.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.

About the Composer
Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
Franz Schubert was a Vienna-born composer who died at only 31 but left behind a vast body of work, especially in the field of Lieder. Known for his gift for melody and subtle modulation, songs such as "Erlkonig" remain widely performed today. His piano works, including the Impromptus, are equally rich in lyricism. This site includes 120 of his works, such as Impromptus, "Erlkonig," and the "Hungarian Melody."
