The Late Piano Sonatas

Album by Franz Schubert & Maurizio Pollini

The Late Piano Sonatas is a collection of late piano sonatas by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1828. These works showcase Schubert's mature piano writing, characterised by long-breathed lyricism, expansive formal designs, striking harmonic turns and contrasts of mood, and they represent a culminating phase of his output that helped shape the Romantic piano repertoire.
