“Ständchen” was one of the last compositions of the prolific but short-lived Franz Peter Schubert (1797-1828). Originally composed for piano and vocal soloist, it has been transcribed for many different instruments and instrumental ensembles. It’s performed here on piano and flute by Claudio and Sergio Zampetti.
