This is a little excerpt from the Wanderer Fantasy by Schubert. The name comes from the second movement of the piece where Schubert uses his own song and creates a variation on it. The whole piece is actually a variation on the that song title “der Wanderer”. In the song, the wanderer is lost in a desolate place, mentally and emotionally.
This little excerpt comes a couple pages before the song quote so I imagine this is a traveling scene. It’s quite serene with some bustling underneath, almost like a smooth carriage ride through the country side with rolling green pastures.
Thanks for sharing these little glimpses into your piano practice. Love reading about what you’re imagining or feeling when playing a particular song!
