Franz Schubert seems to have been particularly attracted to a-minor. Not just one but three of his piano sonatas are in this key. The earliest of them, D 537, was composed in March 1817 and was simult...

The B major Sonata numbers among Schubert's early piano sonatas. Composed in August 1817, it was not published until long after his death. The unusual key (for its time) shows the young Schubert's del...

The A-major Sonata D 664 preserves a little mystery: to the present day, it is still not entirely clear whether it came into being in 1825 or if it was already composed six years earlier. Its stylisti...

As their title suggests, Franz Schubert's 'Moment musicaux' are quite short pieces - shorter than his 'Impromptus'. Six pieces in various moods and of moderate difficulty are collected under the opus...

It was not his large piano sonatas, but rather his short, characteristic pieces that established Franz Schubert's fame. Like his art songs, they too are full of spontaneous, lyrical inspiration. The t...

Franz Liszt was a Schubert fan his whole life. In his concerts he performed Schubert’s songs in transcriptions for piano solo with such great effect that publishers also took notice. Thus, from 1838,...

Franz Schubert's Piano Sonata op. 143 in a minor was composed in 1823 after his large 'Wanderer Fantasy'. With its formal cohesion and mature originality, this a-minor Sonata initiated a new phase in...
