Schubert - Piano Works

The earlier A major sonata, published after Schubert’s death, was composed early in the composers career, in 1819, the same year as the famous Trout Quintet. The youthful exuberance of the score is in stark contrast to the later dreamier tones of the A minor sonata composed in 1825. Ingrid Marsoner has made a specialty of playing the Schubert sonatas during her highly successful career on the concert platform.
