Der Wachteschlag (The Quail's Song), set to text by Samuel Friedrich Sauter, was first published in 1822 in the periodical Wiener Zeitschrift fur Kunst, Literatur, Theater und Mode.

"The only canonic Viennese composer native to Vienna, [Schubert] made seminal contributions in the areas of orchestral music, chamber music, piano music and, most especially, the German lied. The richness and subtlety of his melodic and harmonic language, the originality of his accompaniments, his elevation of marginal genres and the enigmatic nature of his uneventful life have invited a wide range of readings of both man and music that remain among the most hotly debated in musical circles." Robert Winter, Maurice J.E. Brown, and Eric Sams in Grove Music Online.
