History
Bruckner composed this serenade, which he dedicated to Mrs. Schlager, the wife of the mayor of St. Florian,[1] during the beginning of his stay in St. Florian. For the composition Bruckner used a text, which he had already used for the unfinished lied Wie des Bächleins Silberquelle, WAB 84.1.[2][3]
It is not known when the piece was performed. The work, of which the original manuscript is stored in the archive of the Liedertafel Frohsinn,[2][3] was first issued in Band II/2, pp. 61–64 of the Göllerich/Auer biography. It was thereafter issued in 1954, together with Sternschnuppen, in the Chorblattreihe of Robitschek, Vienna. [2] It is issued in Band XXIII/2, No. 3 of the Gesamtausgabe.[4]
Text
Ständchen is using a text of an unknown author (possibly Ernst Marinelli).
