Die Forelle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Die Forelle ("The Trout") Op.32 (D.550) is a lively lied or German art song, written in 1817 by the Austrian composer Franz Schubert (1797-1828). This immensely popular piece is for solo voice and piano. The lyrics it is set to are from a poem by Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart (not to be confused with the composer Schubert).

The song is the basis of a set of variations in the fourth movement of Schubert's Trout Quintet (D.667) which dates from 1819.
