Schubert

“Ave Maria”- D.839 Op.52 No.6 by Franz Schubert is a timeless and beautiful composition. Composed in 1825 as part of his work titled “Ellens dritter Gesang” (Ellen’s Third Song), it has since become known simply as “Ave Maria.” The lyrics are based on a German translation of Sir Walter Scott’s poem “The Lady of the Lake.”

While “Ave Maria” is not an overly complex piece, it does require a certain level of technical proficiency and musical sensitivity. As such, this piece is well-suited for intermediate-level violinists who have a solid foundation in basic techniques such as bow control, vibrato, and intonation.
