  It was in 1816 that Schubert completed his settings of Ossian s songs and added lieder on texts by Johann Georg Jacobi, Johann Peter Uz and Matthias Claudius.

In summer 1816 Schubert produced his first settings of poems by Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart (“Grablied auf einen Soldaten” and “An mein Klavier”), the author of the words to one of his most famous songs “Die Forelle” “The Trout” (see Volume 2).
