Moment Musicaux No. 3 (string quartet)

Title: Moment Musicaux No. 3

Composer: Franz Schubert, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin 1; Violin 2; Viola; Cello

Printout: 4 pages

Note: The six Moments Musicaux are among the most frequently performed of Schubert’s piano works, and no. 3 is certainly the best known of the set. Light-hearted and whimsical, it is well suited for performance in many settings. Incidentally, the last note in m. 51 the cello part looks like a mistake but is correct. Schubert put a vii dim. 7 there rather than a dominant 7.
