The Rondo for Violin and Strings, D 438, is a composition in A major by Franz Schubert. He wrote the rondo in 1816. Like the roughly contemporary Adagio and Rondo concertante in F major, D 487 , the work is a concertante piece designed to highlight the skills of the violin soloist.
The work follows the common A–B–A–C–A pattern characteristic of the rondo form; "A" is a returning theme and "B" and "C" are episodes. "A" is in A minor (the key of the piece), "B" is in F major, and "C" is in A major. Following the last appearance of "A" there is a coda that draws on the music for A as well as a minor key version of C.
The "Rondo" results in an ABACA form. Chronologically, the first refrain (A) (mm. 1–35) beginning in E ♭ major, repeats each section, (a) and (ba), forming (aababa). In the first episode (B) (mm. 36–71) beginning in A ♭ major, moves to F minor and finally resolves to E ♭ major at the beginning of the second refrain (A) (mm. 72–106), which is almost an exact repetition of the first ...
