Franz Schubert - Piano Sonata in F sharp minor, D571

This is one of my favorite pieces by Franz Schubert. It has a very haunting melody, with a visceral and tranquil feel.

He was only 20 years old when he composed this piece. Truly a genius!

Enjoy

If you didn't know, F sharp minor is the exact same key as A.

@RockBrent

yes, the relative major is A.

Schubert's andante in A (D 604) is a good accompaniment to this piece

like the tempo & dynamic - but what happened to the staccato marks and rests in the theme?

The Bärenreiter Urtext edition has the development section written by Schubert (about 2 more pages of music) and an editorial recapitulation added - that's fairly simple - but I don't like the coda - so I'm composing a new one! Interested?

I'm very interested as always! Schubert is my favorite

This piece is phenomenal to listen to live. I recently had the opportunity to hear it performed by a true musical genius-Malcom Bilson from Cornell University. He performed it on the fortepiano which has greater depth and passion than today's modern piano. Ahhhh, I love this piece.

I'm glad you like it as it is also one of my favorite pieces of Schubert. I'm also surprised that it was included in the repertoire! It's a rarely known piece and an even rarer performed piece unfortunately. Thanks for the comment

Definitely one of the best renditions on YouTube. Bravo!

@RockBrent No they are not the same. F-sharp minor is a minor key and A major is of course a major key. If they were the exact same key they would have the same name. The tonic in this case being F sharp and A in the other. F sharp minor also uses E sharp as the leading tone where in A major the leading tone is G sharp. The major similarity between the two is that they share the same key signature. So clearly, not the same.

Beautiful, and not well known at all! I'd love to listen to the remaining movements.

I would like to draw attention to of Schubert lovers to a new Youtube member who has posted some unusual - and beautiful - Schubert pieces. Unfortunately he has not given much information on where the pieces and performances originated. His Youtube name is Schubertiade1828. I suggest listening to this beautiful performance of what I believe is a Schubert opera, though which one I am not sure. Here is the link: youtube.com/watch?v=tfgCwuj4hZ­M
