Schubert D.784

[pianoman53]

Hi all,

This is for some reason my first Schubert piece (apart from a load of lieds), and I'm too old for never have played Schubert (solo) before!

It's a very special sonata. He wrote it when he was sick in syphilis, and this first movement (and parts of the second) sounds almost like a struggle between denial and acceptance about dying.

I stumbled a little in the re-cap. I don't know it quite as well as I should, and right at that moment, a bird sort of bounced into a window and stole my attention for a second...

I've played this piece for about 3 weeks, and I've played the first and second once for my teacher, so any advice (especially on the second movement) would be appreciated greatly!

A wonderful interpretation - the mystery of this great sonata is beautifully revealed.
I think it is the only sonata by Schubert which has a symphonic dimension, so I made
an attempt to orchestate it. In the past for me this movement always stood in the shadow of the first movements. Now I believe this movement is the peak of the whole sonata - wonderfully fitting to a symphony Finale
