Der Doppelgänger

Franz Schubert

For tuba and piano

In D major, range B1 to G3

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.
