"Trout" Quintet / "Arpeggione" Sonata

Album by Franz Schubert & Emanuel Ax & Yo‐Yo Ma & Pamela Frank & Rebecca Young & Edgar Meyer & Barbara Bonney

The "Trout" Piano Quintet in A major and the Sonata for Arpeggione and Piano are chamber works by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1819 and 1824 respectively. Both pieces blend lyrical melody and classical forms with early Romantic harmonic colour: the quintet is distinguished by its unusual instrumentation and melodic inventiveness within Schubert's chamber output, while the sonata, written for the now-obsolete arpeggione, presents an intimate dialogue between bowed instrument and piano that links late Classical sonata practice with emerging Romantic expressiveness.
