Piano Sonatas, D. 850 / D. 960
Album by Franz Schubert & Anne-Marie McDermott
Piano Sonatas, D. 850 and D. 960 are piano sonatas by Franz Schubert, composed in 1825 and 1828 respectively. They are late works in Schubert's output that have expansive, lyrical melodies, rich harmonic shifts and large formal designs, and they come from the final years of his career when his piano writing grew more introspective and orchestral in scope.
