Description:
The "Six Grandes Marches" op. 40 - D 819 are probably among Schubert's most impressive late works for piano four hands. He may have composed them during his second stay at Zselíz Castle, where he was engaged as piano teacher to the two countesses Marie-Therese and Karoline Esterházy and created numerous piano duets.
The musically varied marches were published in quick succession in two booklets in 1825 and are each formally equipped with a contrasting lyrical trio section. They span an arc representative of Schubert's personal style, from echoes of military music to summery, light-hearted passages to the highly dramatic funeral march, the latter exemplarily realized in the "Grande Marche" in E flat minor No. 5, which seems to anticipate Chopin.
In the chapter on piano playing in Schubert's time, Mario Aschauer addresses issues such as articulation, the use of pedal and the execution of ornaments.
