Summary of This Score

Composed a few months before Schubert's death in 1828, the great Piano Sonata in A major stands as a pinnacle of the Romantic repertoire: generous writing, a melodic line of rare poetry, and an architecture that highlights both the depth of the discourse and pianistic brilliance. This score is particularly appreciated for its "Andantino," a moment of expressive tension and inner lyricism that requires true mastery of sound, breathing, and layering.

Prepared by Walburga Litschauer, this edition is distinguished by a scholarly-critical approach aimed at practical use: the musical text is based on the Urtext of the "New Schubert Edition" and relies primarily on the autograph manuscript. The pianist thus benefits from a reliable foundation to build their interpretation while retaining access to essential information when multiple readings are possible.

The edition is enriched with a new preface, performance practice notes (German/English), and a critical commentary (English) detailing relevant variants for performance as well as clarifications on Schubert's accent notation. Access to the sonata's sketches is also indicated on the Bärenreiter website, useful for those wishing to delve deeper into the study of sources and the work's genesis.
