Schubert Complete Piano Sonatas I-III
Schubert’s piano sonatas reflect the entire cosmos of his distinctive writing, spanning from an early experimentation with this form to the iconic last three sonatas, which the composer completed in 1828, the last year of his life.
All three volumes are equipped with informative prefaces on the genesis and sources, as well as valuable notes on piano playing in Schubert's time (including articulation, pedal usage, ornamentation) by Mario Aschauer - with a focus on Schubert's characteristic notation of accents.
A quick location of works and individual movements is facilitated by running titles at the top of the right-hand pages with indications of opus and movement numbers. The Critical Commentary lists in particular readings relevant to interpretation. Schubert's drafts and sonata fragments are accessible via the Bärenreiter website.
