To express fear, Schubert showed the boy screaming for his father. He screams three times.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The song shows a father who rides with his son in a dark forest.
- The child starts seeing fantastic and mythological creatures like elves and starts to get terrified.
- He yells for his father three times, trying to get his attention as the creatures approach.
- But when the father notices the creatures, the child has already been taken by them.
- At this point in the song, the pianist starts to play very quickly and gradually slows down, until he stops playing, to represent the boy's fear and death.
This question is related to the ballad "Der Erlkönig" which was written in 1782.
