Entr’acte to Act II, from Rosamunde (intermediate strings)

Title: Entr’acte to Act II, from Rosamunde

Composer: Franz Schubert, arr. David Gable

Key: B flat Major

Meter: 2/4

Tempo: Moderato

Instrumentation: Violin 1; Violin 2; Viola; Cello/Bass

Note: Schubert reused this music in his A minor string quartet. The chromatics can be difficult at first for students who are unfamiliar with flat keys, but the music is so beautiful that they will be motivated to rise to the challenge.
