About the Composition
This work was originally arranged and transcribed for Violin or Cello by Charles Vogel (1808- 1892) and Henri Guérout (d. ca.1900). The bowings of the opening eight measures in the solo part of this bass edition reflect the 19th Century Eulenberg Score of the original string quartet.
The theme is from a song Schubert composed in 1817 for soprano and piano with words by German poet Matthias Claudius.
