Heidenröslein

Franz Schubert

For tuba and piano

In G major, range G2 to G3

The title means “Little Rose on the Heath”. A boy wants to pick a wild rose; she warns him that she will prick him, but he picks her anyway, and her crying doesn’t help her. Schubert wrote it to Goethe’s poem in 1815, at eighteen, as simple as a folk song.
