Sonate D. 959 / Impromptus op. 142

Album by Franz Schubert & Alain Planès

Sonate D. 959 and the Impromptus Op. 142 are solo piano works by Franz Schubert, composed in 1828 and 1827 respectively. They exemplify Schubert's late style, featuring expansive lyrical melodies, adventurous harmonic shifts and a blending of classical forms with early Romantic expressiveness, and they occupy a central place in his late piano output.
