Volume III of Schubert’s Piano Sonatas includes the tuneful, dance-like
Sonata in G major D 894 (1827), sometimes called the “Fantasie” sonata,
as well as the three great sonatas in C minor, A major and B-flat major
(D 958, 959 and 960), which were conceived as a triptych and constitute
the composer’s greatest contribution to the piano sonata genre.
The works pay homage to the three late sonatas of Beethoven.
This scholarly-critical Urtext edition is based on the definitive musical
text of the “New Schubert Edition” and presents the works in a
spacious new engraving with practical page turns. It includes an
informative Foreword and detailed notes (Ger/Eng) on central
performance practice issues such as the use of pedals and Schubert’s
distinctive manner of notating accents. It is rounded off by a
Critical Commentary (Eng) with performance-related alternative
readings. Schubert’s drafts for individual sonata movements can be
accessed on the Bärenreiter website.
