A piano duet composed in 1827. Schubert visited Graz in the autumn of that year, having been invited by Frau Pachler. Frau Pachler had a son named Faust, and Schubert seems to have promised to compose a duet for him to play with his mother on his father's birthday. This short piece, composed as promised, is relatively easy and a charming march with a bright, high-pitched sound; however, the trio section requires a somewhat advanced technique for children, as the primo part plays triplets against the secondo's eighth notes.
