Impromptu 3 in G♭ Major, D. 899 (Op. 90) No. 3 - Franz Schubert | Music Sheet No. 3 in G♭ major The third Impromptu (Andante) is an epitome of slow-moving Schubert melody over a flowing arpeggiated accompaniment. This lyrical and meditative work remains unified in mood and texture throughout. The work was initially published in G major instead of G♭ major due to concerns over the difficulty for amateur performers. This facilitated reading but not playing, as the original key of G♭ major lies comfortably under the fingers. Schubert's double bars were also divided in 4/2 time, resulting in the loss of natural flow. The piece is a classic example of Schubert's penchant for long melodic lines. There is little interruption in the fluttering harp-like broken triad accompaniment, creating a tense contrast with the spacious and languid melody—an anticipation of Felix Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words. With no repeats, the melody develops into a shadowy and frequently modulating middle section before returning to its relaxed flow. The third Impromptu is Schubert's only instrumental movement in the key of G♭ major and is one of the first pieces ever written in it. The unusual choice of key may be related to the ending of the preceding piece.
