This work for piano, piano, violin and double bass is divided into five movements, of which the fourth movement is the most famous. In the original song, the author first vividly depicts the lovely image of trout swimming happily in a clear stream. Then, the trout was caught by hunters, and the author was deeply dissatisfied. The author expresses infinite sympathy and regret for the fate of trout with the narrative method of segmented songs, and reveals the profound implication of the lyrics: kindness and simplicity are often hurt by hypocrisy and evil.
There is a small trout swimming happily like an arrow in the bright river.
I stood by the river and looked at it quietly. It swims in the clear river.
How happy it is to swim in the clear river.
Lyrics:
The fisherman stood by the river with a hook and looked at it coldly, trying to catch the fish.
I hope in my heart that as long as the river is clear and bright, he won't try to catch trout ashore.
As long as the river is clear and bright, he can't catch trout on the shore.
But fishermen don't want to wait and waste time. Before I could think, he quickly muddied the river.
When I fished the trout ashore, I watched the trout be fooled by anger.
I watched the little trout fall for it angrily.
In this song, Schubert not only created the image of trout swimming leisurely in the accompanied stream, but also implied the profound meaning of the lyrics with the narrative method of segmented songs: kindness and simplicity are often hurt by fraud and evil. It shows his infinite sympathy and regret for the fate of trout. The author once wrote a piano quintet in A major based on this song.
Schubert's quintet in A major is different from the usual piano quintet. It is not the standard form of piano plus string quartet, but the combination of piano and four stringed instruments, such as violin, viola, cello and double bass, that is, the second violin is less than the standard form, and the double bass is replaced. Moreover, this piece has five movements, which is also different. Because the fourth movement uses the melody of Schubert's own song "Trout" as the theme and variation, this song is commonly known as "Trout Quintet".
Undoubtedly, this is definitely Schubert's most beautiful masterpiece of chamber music, and even a crown in the category of piano chamber music. The whole tone is romantic, cheerful, frank and free, and always full of singing. Needless to say, you should be familiar with the melody of the song Trout, and maybe you can sing it. Even the third movement, which is a little excited, is very loud and needs time to say a few gentle and soothing words. A major is usually hearty, and Schubert's music is particularly smooth. Young Schubert must have been deeply intoxicated by the turns of singing between the piano and stringed instruments, and between the big and small violins.
This quintet, in A major, D667, was written in 18 19. Its title was named because the theme of its fourth movement variation was taken from the melody of the song Trout written by Schubert in 18 17. Schubert and his good friend vogel, a baritone singer, were warmly received by Bowen Ghana when they were traveling in northern Austria. Therefore, entrusted by Bowen Ghana, they premiered at Bowen's Ghana Building. Its five movements are: 1. Allegro vivacious, the main classical sonata form. At the beginning, the triplet is played on the piano, which plays the role of connecting the whole song. First, the presentation and development of the first theme, and then through the formation of E major, the piano pops up the second theme, and the violin repeatedly enters the small end of the presentation. With the new rhythm of quarter notes and eighth notes, the development department played the first theme in C major, pursuing fantasy. The first theme of the reproduction part is reproduced by the piano in D major and ends with a short epilogue. 2. Andante in F major consists of three lyric melodies. The first melody is F major, the second melody is F minor, and the third melody is D major. Then the first melody is reproduced in A flat major, the second melody in A minor and the third melody in F major, which is the tradition of Bach and Mozart. 3. Scherzo, Extreme Emergency, Major, Complex Trilogy. Answer with strings and piano, and then form fugue. 4. andantino in D major, theme and 6 variations. The theme is the song "Trout". First of all, the theme is played by the first violin, with strings as a foil. The first variant assigns melody to the piano, with string arpeggios as foil. In the second variation, the viola plays the main part, the violin starts, the melody moves to the double bass, and the piano plays complex quick sentences. The fourth variation turns to triplet rhythm, the fifth variation also turns, and the sixth variation and ending use the piano waveform in the accompaniment of the original song. 5. Allegro in A major, incomplete sonata form, which reveals the color of Hungary.
