Sonatas in A major, D. 959 & B flat major, D. 960
Album by Franz Schubert & Ronald Brautigam
Sonatas in A major, D. 959 and B flat major, D. 960 are the final two piano sonatas by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1828. They exemplify Schubert's late style, with expansive structures, sweeping lyrical writing, surprising harmonic turns and sharp contrasts between introspective slow passages and turbulent outbursts, and they represent a culmination of his piano output with notable influence on the Romantic repertoire.
