Work & Edition Details

The Arpeggione is a six-stringed instrument, fretted and tuned as a guitar is, but bowed (thus it more closely resembles the bass viola da gamba than it does the violoncello). It was invented around 1823, by the Viennese guitar maker Johann Georg Staufer, and enjoyed a brief vogue, for perhaps a decade. The present sonata is the only notable piece extant for the instrument; it is now commonly played on the violoncello

Der Arpeggione ist eine Instrumentenerfindung des 19. Jahrhunderts und lässt sich als eine Mischung aus Gitarre und Violoncello vorstellen. Das Instrument selbst ist längst vergessen, doch Schubert hält es durch diese Komposition bis heute am Leben.
