Op. 142 No. 3, in B flat major

Impromptu Op. posth. 142 (D. 935) No. 3 played by Randolph Hokanson .

This is the "Rosamunde " impromptu, while the theme derives from the incidental music Schubert composed for the play with the same name. Schubert had already re-used this theme in the string quartet in A minor D. 804, equally nicknamed "Rosamunde". This impromptu is a theme with variations.
