Music of Rosamunde at Schubert

  • Some think that the interval n° 1 could be the finale missing of the unfinished Symphonie (Mackerras recorded the symphony in 1990 with this hypothetical finale).
  • the topic of the third interval of Rosamunde was re-used by Schubert in the String quartet n° 13 and in the Impromptu D 935, where it is used as topic with six Variation S for piano
