Summary of This Score
With the Sonata for Piano and Arpeggione in A minor D 821 (op. post.) (Version for Violoncello), Franz Schubert created a major work that is both lyrical, intimate, and intensely narrative. Originally written for the arpeggione, this piece has been enduringly embraced by cellists thanks to its particularly "vocal" melodic line and constant dialogue with the piano. The transcription for cello preserves the singing momentum and warmth of the tessitura while offering an expressive breadth perfectly suited to the instrument.
This score for cello and piano allows for working on both musicality and the construction of the discourse: long phrasing, breathing, articulation, and colors, without forgetting the essential mutual listening required in a duo. The piano is never a mere accompaniment: its figures, harmonies, and dynamics fully contribute to the dramaturgy, making it an ideal piece to strengthen ensemble cohesion and refine sound balances.
Prepared as a musicological edition by Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, this publication is aimed at those seeking a serious reading of the work, adapted for precise work on the Schubertian style. A reference to enrich one's chamber music repertoire, prepare for an audition, or simply (re)discover one of Schubert's most emblematic sonatas in the cello version.
