The playThe text version of von Chézy's original play, in four acts, as premiered with Schubert's music, is lost.[3] However, a later modified version of the play, in five acts, was discovered in the State Library of Württemberg, and was published in 1996.[4] Fragmentary autograph sources relating to the first version of the play have been recovered too.[5] The story concerns the attempt of Rosamunde, who was brought up incognito as a shepherdess by the mariner's widow Axa, to reclaim her throne. The long-established governor Fulgentius (Fulvio in the revised version), who already has Rosamunde's parents on his conscience, attempts to thwart Rosamunde, initially by intrigue, then by a marriage proposal and finally by an attempt at poisoning. Rosamunde, whose claim is backed by a deed in her father's hand, enjoys the support of Cypriots and the Cretan Prince Alfonso, her intended husband. Finally, all the attempts of Fulgentius fail; he dies by his own poison, and Rosamunde ascends the throne.[6] Schubert's incidental musicSchubert's incidental music is scored for orchestra, and for some of the numbers diverse combinations of singers. Overture{{See also|Alfonso und Estrella#Overture}}There are two overtures associated with Rosamunde:
Incidental music{{listen|filename=Schubert- Impromptu B-flat1.ogg|title=Impromptu in B-flat, Andante (theme)|description=The "Rosamunde" theme of the Impromptu Op. 142 No. 3 for piano|format=Ogg|pos=right}}The ten numbers of the Rosamunde incidental music, {{D.}} 797, are:
ScoreNo. 3b was published in 1824 as Op. 26, in a version with piano accompaniment. Nos. 8, 4 and 7 were possibly first published in the same series. Other publications with one or more numbers followed. By 1867 all numbers except 3a and 6 had been published in one or more versions.[2] George Grove and Arthur Sullivan rediscovered the original manuscript parts of the music when they visited Vienna in 1867 specifically to research Schubert. Grove wrote: "I found, at the bottom of the cupboard, and in its farthest corner, a bundle of music-books two feet high, carefully tied round, and black with the undisturbed dust of nearly half-a-century. … These were the part-books of the whole of the music in Rosamunde, tied up after the second performance in December, 1823, and probably never disturbed since. Dr. Schneider [Schubert's nephew] must have been amused at our excitement; but let us hope that he recollected his own days of rapture; at any rate, he kindly overlooked it, and gave us permission to take away with us and copy what we wanted."[9]It was not until Series XV, Volume 4 of the Breitkopf & Härtel Gesammtausgabe was published in 1891 that all the numbers of the incidental music were joined in one publication, with the full orchestration.[2] Performance historyExcerpts from the Rosamunde music are frequently performed, and are some of Schubert's most performed pieces.{{unsourced-inline|date=October 2014}} They have been recorded several times, including versions conducted by Kurt Masur and Claudio Abbado.{{unsourced-inline|date=October 2014}} The complete score, which lasts an hour, is seldom heard. In one rare performance, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, directed by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, performed the full score at the Styriarte festival in Graz, Austria, in June 2004. The Arnold Schoenberg Choir sang the vocal parts with soloists Elisabeth von Magnus and Florian Boesch.{{unsourced-inline|date=October 2014}} Other uses of the musicThe Overture was used for a ballet sequence in the 1952 Samuel Goldwyn film Hans Christian Andersen, starring Danny Kaye.[10] The ballet sequence was danced by Zizi Jeanmaire.{{unsourced-inline|date=October 2014}} A fragment of Entr'acte #2 was used in many episodes of Wings of the Red Star. Another excerpt was incorporated into the Christmas carol Mille cherubini in coro, a song made popular by Luciano Pavarotti in a 1980 TV Christmas programme.[11] The piece is also played in Marvel's film The Avengers in the German opera house scene.{{unsourced-inline|date=October 2014}} See also
