Franz Schubert (1797-1828) is one of the best art song composers the world has seen, both in terms of quanitity (over 600 songs) and quality. Die Forelle (The Trout), D. 550, was written and edited 1817-1821, with the 1820 version being published as op. 32 in 1827. In this song, Schubert sets a poem by Christin Friedrich Daniel Schubart (1739-1791) about a man catching a trout in a stream. The playful piano accompaniment portrays the carefree trout before he is caught, and the straightforward melody completes the effect. Schubert later incorporated this music into his string quintet (D. 667). My arrangement maintains the original key, but you can transpose as desired using the buttons above the score. NOTE: THIS ARRANGEMENT IS FOR TREBLE CLEF. IF YOU PREFER BASS CLEF, TRY THE TROMBONE OR HIGH TUBA EDITIONS. For more arrangements, please visit www.drfeezell.com.

Very nice
Thank you Doctor taking the time to turn this lovely little piece into a melody for Baritone AND in treble clef. I have listened many times to the ensemble playing, but you have turned this into a great little number. Mind you, there is a problem in it, and that is how does one readily find the pianist who can play their lovely part. Thank you
