The Trout

Franz Schubert

For horn and piano

Written in G major, range A3 to C5

The singer stands by a clear brook and watches a trout dart happily through the water, until a fisherman muddies the stream and catches it. A music-loving cellist liked the song so much that he asked Schubert for a quintet with variations on it, the famous “Trout” Quintet.
