"Ständchen", D 920/921 (also known as "Notturno") is a part song for alto solo, chorus & piano, by Franz Schubert. He composed it in Vienna in July 1827, setting words by Franz Grillparzer ("Zögernd leise, in des Dunkels nächt'ger Hülle").[1]
Schubert wrote two versions, for male and female chorus, originally catalogued as:
- D 920, for alto solo, TTBB chorus & piano[1]
- D 921, for alto solo, SSAA chorus & piano, Op. 135(p)[2]
The latest update of Deutsch's catalogue places both versions under D 920, and D 921 is no longer used.
