Piano Sonata in A major D. 959 / Piano Sonata in C major 'Reliquie' D. 840

Album by Franz Schubert & Jonathan Biss

Piano Sonata in A major, D. 959 and Piano Sonata in C major "Reliquie", D. 840 are piano sonatas by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1828 and 1825 respectively. The A major sonata is lyrical with expansive melodies and late-classical harmonic richness and is among Schubert's last completed sonatas, while the unfinished C major 'Reliquie' survives as fragments that show sudden harmonic turns and a move toward a more introspective piano style within his late works.
