Wilhelm Müller’s poems, which were set by Schubert in Die schöne Müllerin, were originally written for a performance in 1816 at the Berlin salon of Privy Councillor von Stägemann. Müller was in love with Luise Hensel, later the sister-in-law of Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn, and himself played the role of the rejected young miller, with music written by Ludwig Berger.
