Serenade (Ständchen, in German) D.957, is the last lyrical love song of the Austrian composer Franz Schubert (1797-1828), before his early death at the age of 31. This Lied for high voice accompanied by fortepiano, among the most famous of this master of German Romantic music, was published posthumously in 1829, in his collection The Swan Song (Schwanengesang).
