BARENREITER SCHUBERT Piano Sonatas Iii The Late Sonatas D 894, 958, 959, 960

Volume III of Schubert’s Piano Sonatas includes the tuneful, dance-like Sonata in G major D 894 (1827), sometimes called the “Fantasie” sonata, as well as the three great sonatas in C minor, A major and B-flat major (D 958, 959 and 960), which were conceived as a triptych and constitute the composer’s greatest contribution to the piano sonata genre. The works pay homage to the three late sonatas of Beethoven.
