Arranged standard wind quintet 

It is in the musical form ABACA. Theme in Bb major, and two other sections in G minor and Bb mnor. The end of each minor section is noted "Maggiore D.C." 

Rosamunde, Fürstin von Zypern (Rosamunde, Princess of Cyprus) is a play by Helmina von Chézy, which is primarily remembered for the incidental music which Franz Schubert composed for it. 

Music and play premiered in Vienna's Theater an der Wien on 20 December 1823.

There are 10 pieces of incidental music, this is no 5.

Entr'acte No. 3 in B♭ major (Andantino) is one of the two best-known pieces in the score. 

The main theme was used again in the Impromptu in B♭, Op. 142 (D 935), No. 3. 

Schubert used an almost identical theme in the second movement of his String Quartet in A minor, D 804.
