Franz Schubert

La Truite

The ANACROUSE collection offers novice and experienced pianists alike a wide choice of classical works, from the Renaissance to the modern era.

We have set ourselves the goal of offering both "must-haves" from the classical repertoire and pieces by sometimes forgotten composers, all of undeniable pedagogical value. Each piece, sold individually, has been the subject of careful editorial work, both in terms of the musical text and its engraving, in order to guarantee musicians the conditions essential to the pleasures derived from frequent trade in these works.

The scores are offered in traditional book form (paper sheets), and also available by download.



This score was sketched out by Schubert during a summer stay in Steyr in 1819, and completed in Vienna the following autumn. The title "The Trout" comes from the work's fourth movement, a suite of variations on the famous lied of the same name.
With its strophic form, this pleasant melody belongs to a popular tradition that goes back to time immemorial.
Designed as a simple vacation entertainment, this piece soon became one of the most popular pieces of music.
