"An Rosa II, D. 316" is a Lied composed by Franz Schubert in 1815. The piece was premiered in Vienna in the same year. It is a part of Schubert's collection of Lieder, which is considered to be one of the most significant contributions to the genre. The piece is composed of three movements, each with its own unique characteristics. The first movement is marked "Andante," and it begins with a simple, yet beautiful melody played by the piano. The vocal line enters shortly after, and the singer delivers the text with a sense of longing and melancholy. The movement is characterized by its use of chromaticism, which adds to the overall sense of sadness and yearning. The second movement is marked "Allegro," and it is much more lively and energetic than the first. The piano plays a fast, rhythmic accompaniment, while the singer delivers the text with a sense of urgency and excitement. The movement is characterized by its use of syncopation, which adds to the overall sense of energy and movement. The third and final movement is marked "Andantino," and it is a return to the melancholic mood of the first movement. The piano plays a simple, yet haunting melody, while the singer delivers the text with a sense of resignation and acceptance. The movement is characterized by its use of dissonance, which adds to the overall sense of sadness and loss. Overall, "An Rosa II, D. 316" is a beautiful and poignant piece of music that showcases Schubert's mastery of the Lied genre. Its use of chromaticism, syncopation, and dissonance all contribute to its emotional impact, and it remains a beloved piece of music to this day.
