Schubert wrote "Auf dem Strom" for the only public concert of his works given during his lifetime, on March 3, 1828, the year in which he died aged thirty-one. The two young poets set by Michael Tippett in "The Heart's Assurance" fell in the last war; and Noel Mewton-Wood and Dennis Brain have died, tragically early, since they took part in this recital in the Third Programme on January 28, 1953.
