Ferdinand Rebay (1880-1953) was a viennese pianist, choir conductor and composer. He studied music theory under Robert Fuchs from 1901 to 1904, and was appointed to the faculty of the Wiener Akademie in 1920. On April 13, 1940, Rebay completed this short cycle of Variations on Franz Schubert’s “Wiegenlied” D 498. Schubert’s music is a frequent source of inspiration in Rebay’s solo and chamber music for guitar.
