Franz Schubert Books

The Fantasie in F Minor, Op. 103, is Franz Schubert's most-often performed piano duet and is considered one of the great masterpieces of ensemble piano repertoire. Schubert completed the Fantasie in 1828, just a short time before his death later that year. The work demonstrates his mature style and is filled with some of his best writing. Its four connected movements contain lovely and enticing melodies, dramatic gestures in French overture style, a brilliant scherzo and trio, and a virtuosic fugue.

The piano sonatas of Franz Schubert are characterized by the supremely lyrical greatness that distinguishes all of this composer's work. The unfailing melody, the fresh modulations, and the emotional range — from blissful contentment to pensive melancholy — of these works place them firmly among the undisputed piano classics.This volume, reproduced directly from Series 10 of the definitive Breitkopf & Härtel Schubert-Gesammtausgabe, contains all fifteen of Schubert's piano the charming early sonatas, the groundbreaking sonatas of the early 1820s, right up to the brilliant final sonatas.Noteheads in this edition have been reproduced in a size large enough to be read easily at the keyboard, and margins and spaces between staves are conveniently wide to permit written notes, harmonic analysis, fingerings, and running measure numbers. Essential to all classical pianists, this edition is also practical for study, reference, enjoyment — virtually any use.
