Klaviersonaten D 958 & D 959

Album by Franz Schubert & Maurizio Pollini

Klaviersonaten D 958 & D 959 are piano sonatas by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1828. As part of his final cycle of piano works, they are characterised by expansive structures, song-like melodies and bold harmonic shifts that push beyond Classical conventions and mark an important step in the development of Romantic piano literature.
