Schubert's The Trout (Die Forelle, 1817) paints a vivid picture of a darting fish in a sparkling brook — bright, leaping, and full of good humour. On a steel tongue drum the skipping, arpeggio-based melody dances with a playful energy, each phrase jumping up like a fish breaking the surface. Light-hearted and charming, it is one of Schubert's most irresistibly cheerful tunes.
How to play The Trout (Die Forelle) — Schubert on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a easy arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of The Trout (Die Forelle) — Schubert.
