SCHUBERT F. - OBRAS PIANO A 4 MANOS V.1 -URTEXT

No other great composer has left so many works for piano four-hands as Franz Schubert altogether 54 (32 of these with opus number): fantasies, dances, marches, variations, rondos, sonatas etc. Playing music together, often in a social circle, was a precious pastime of Schubert s circle of friends. The young composer provided the musical background for these rousing concerts and exuberant performances.

The pieces are chronologically arranged in the three Henle Urtext volumes showcasing Schubert s piano duets.



Volume I contains three very early pieces from the years 1810 to 1813; the other works stem predominantly from the greater part of the year 1818, and which include the splendid Grande Sonate in B flat major D 617. The final section is comprised of two pieces from works that are chronologically difficult to situate and to lay down an exact time of origin; one of these, Allegro Moderato und Andante, D 968, was occasionally also designated as Sonatine and was written most probably for instructional purposes.
