Der Doppelgänger

Franz Schubert

For trumpet and piano

Written in B♭ major, range G3 to E♭5

The title means “The Double”. At night, in a silent street, a man looks up at the house where his love once lived and sees someone standing there, wringing his hands. The moon shows him the stranger’s face: it is his own. Schubert wrote it in 1828 to a poem by Heinrich Heine.
