Schubert Piano Sonata, D. 157

[vmishka]

This is the first Schubert Piano Sonata, D. 157, in three movements. It is generally thought to be incomplete (lack of a fourth movement) because it ends with a Minuet/Trio in B Major (the tonic of the first movement is E Major). Nevertheless, I find the three existing movements to be rather nice.

It is rarely performed and may be unfamiliar to some of you. I chose not to repeat the first movement exposition.

Recorded on a Yamaha Clavinova and rendered with Garritan CFX.

I.    0:00      Allegro ma non troppo
II.   5:29      Andante
III.  12:40   Allegro vivace

Never heard it as i gravitate towards the later sonatas.
Pleasant enough, but it doesnt tear at the heart strings as some of the later works do. It could almost be Haydn.
Well played.
Talented Koala.

Wolfgang "BumJr" Koala thanks you for the kind words.
