Schubert books

on: June 10, 2015, 09:05:25 AM

I've officially been poisoned by Schubert's greatness, and I'm looking forward to working on more of his stuff, particularly his sonatas and impromptus. I'm not really interested in buying the ENTIRE sonatas set, just, well, the last 8 or so; preferably 13-21. Anyone know any good quality (and cheap

) editions? Really tired of having to print stuff from IMSLP.

I will definitely recommend ABRSM Signature series Schubert Complete Piano Sonatas edited by Howard Ferguson, maybe you can purchase vols.2 & 3? Meticulously edited with useful suggestions!
Wiener urtext edition by Tirimo as well as the Henle vol.3 by Badura-Skoda contained completions of Schubert unfinished sonatas.
