Dover Schubert Franz - Complete Sonatas For Pianoforte Solo - Piano Solo

Summary of This Score

This collection gathers all 15 piano sonatas by Franz Schubert, cornerstones of the grand repertoire and essential repertoire for any pianist wishing to explore the composer's universe. It notably includes sonatas that have become emblematic for their intensity and narrative power, among which are the sonata in C minor, the sonata in A major (Op. 120), and the sonata in B-flat major. The volume covers a wide range of keys (A, A minor, B major, C major, E minor, E-flat major Op. 122, G major Op. 78, etc.), offering a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Schubert's piano writing.

Schubert's sonatas are distinguished by a constant melodic inspiration and a very personal way of making the piano sing: long lines, broad breathing, delicate accompaniments, but also dramatic surges and sudden color changes. The work on modulations and harmony holds a central place, inviting the performer to carefully balance voices, transitions, and phrase direction. The expression spans a particularly wide spectrum, ranging from luminous serenity to a more introspective melancholy, making it a privileged ground for developing musicality, narrative sense, and mastery of atmospheres.

Whether you are preparing a concert program, exams, or an in-depth study of Romanticism, this complete edition allows you to approach Schubert in a structured way, alternating between more intimate pages and more virtuosic movements. An essential score for building a solid classical library and working on interpretation with rigor and sensitivity.
