Piano Sonatas, D959 & D960
Album by Franz Schubert & Melvyn Tan
Piano Sonatas D.959 and D.960 are the final piano sonatas by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1828. These late works feature expansive structures, songlike melodies, rich harmonic language and contrasts of tranquillity and drama, and they represent a culminating point in Schubert's piano writing that helped shape the Romantic piano repertoire.
