Piano Sonatas D. 958, D. 960

Album by Franz Schubert & Sviatoslav Richter

Piano Sonatas D. 958 and D. 960 are two piano sonatas by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1828. They are large-scale solo piano works that blend expansive lyricism, adventurous harmonic shifts and contrasts between introspective slow movements and more energetic passages, and they stand among Schubert's final compositions, representing a culmination of his piano writing that influenced later Romantic pianism.
