ABSTRACT
This chapter presents four sets of songs published by Diabelli and Co., 10 July 1829. These are An die Nachtigall; Wiegenlied and Iphigenia. This is so unlike any of Schubert's other sets it is difficult to believe the composer was responsible for it. No other set ends rather than begins with the most dramatic and wide-ranging song. It is not included in the complete edition of Claudius's works, Franz Peter Schubert and his contemporaries believed he was the author of Wiegenlied as well as An die Nachtigall. The two were among a group of eight Claudius settings Schubert made in November 1816. This is so unlike any of Schubert's other sets it is difficult to believe the composer was responsible for it. No other set ends rather than begins with the most dramatic and wide-ranging song. Dia belli brought it out eight months after Schubert's death on the same day as Op. 109, a set he himself compiled.
