On a technical level, the trio of pieces lies within the ambit of amateur players of both instruments, though more demanding for the pianist. This relative ease of execution need not obscure the rapturous melodies of the second work in the collection, D, or its deeply felt harmonies, which culminate in an elegiac finale.

The infinite feeling of happiness which I discovered during those hours resonates to this very day. Salieri was a brilliant teacher and, under his direction, the youthful Schubert was composing his first string quartets, songs, and piano pieces.
Already the composer was making the piano part an integral element of the song. The accompaniment mimics the revolving wheel, speeding up and slowing down in response to the text.
