Gently My Songs Entreat (German: Leise flehen meine Lieder) is a 1933 Austrian-German
biopic of the composer Franz Schubert (1797–1828).[1] It was Forst's directorial debut.[2] A British version was made called Unfinished Symphony. The German title refers to the first line of the Lied "Ständchen" (Serenade) from Schubert's collection Schwanengesang, "the most famous serenade in the world",[3]
which Eggerth performs in the film.
