Franz Schubert

1797  –  1828

Franz Schubert's piano music sits at the cusp of Classical and Romantic — the architecture of Mozart and Beethoven, the lyricism of his own song cycles, and a harmonic palette that turns toward the new. His Impromptus, Moments musicaux, and late sonatas are among the most loved works of the German tradition.

The last three sonatas (D. 958, 959, and 960), the Impromptus, and the Wanderer Fantasy are repertoire cornerstones whose reputation has only grown since their nineteenth-century rediscovery.
