The Late Piano Sonatas, D 958 - 960

Album by Franz Schubert & Andreas Staier

The Late Piano Sonatas, D 958–960 are a set of three piano sonatas by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1828. Stylistically rooted in the early Romantic piano tradition, they feature expansive structures, long lyrical melodies, adventurous harmonic progressions and striking contrasts between intimate and dramatic passages, and they constitute Schubert's final major contributions to the piano repertoire and a notable point in the development of Romantic piano music.
