This work is based on a poem by Goethe, written on his second trip to Switzerland. Inspired by the 300-meter-high Staubbach Falls in Lauterbrunnen Valley, Goethe is here describing the human soul and its transience using the water image. Schubert repeatedly revised his musical setting, so, from an original piano lied arose a piece for male quartet – initially a cappella, then with piano –, and finally today’s best-known version for male octet, with low strings.
