Piano sonatas in A minor, D. 784; in D major, D.850

Album by Franz Schubert & Alfred Brendel

Piano Sonatas in A minor, D.784, and in D major, D.850 are piano sonatas by Franz Schubert, composed in 1823 and 1825 respectively. They exemplify Schubert's transitional voice between Classical forms and early Romantic expressiveness, featuring song-like melodies, wide-ranging harmonic shifts and contrasts of intimate, reflective passages with vigorous, expansive movements that signal his growing ambition in large-scale piano writing.
