{"product_id":"51481556","title":"Schubert: Piano Sonata in a minor Opus post. 164 D 537","description":"\u003cp\u003eFranz Schubert seems to have been particularly attracted to a-minor. Not just one but three of his piano sonatas are in this key. The earliest of them, D 537, was composed in March 1817 and was simultaneously his first completed piano sonata ever. It is characterised by concise brevity. The three-movement form dispenses with the usual scherzo. It is far removed from the drama of its a-minor sibling works; meandering modulations often lead to distant harmonic regions and lighten the mood to major - significantly, the sonata also ends in A major. Henle's Urtext edition is based on the autograph, which is preserved in the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris; a contemporary manuscript copy and the posthumous first edition were only used for comparison purposes. The preface by Schubert expert Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl and the detailed comment section provide information about the work's genesis and about open questions concerning the musical text. The fingerings by renowned Schubert interpreter Martin Helmchen are a further plus point of this new edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"G HENLE USA, INC - 2018","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50764151488798,"sku":"51481556","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/3598\/1393\/files\/9790201815565.jpg?v=1779138288","url":"https:\/\/juilliardstore.com\/products\/51481556","provider":"Juilliard Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
