Composed by Franz Schubert. Edited by Walburga Litschauer. This edition: urtext edition. Stapled. Barenreiter Urtext. Replaces BA5633. Performance score. D 959. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA10861. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA10861).
ISBN 9790006521074. 12.2 x 9.57 inches. Key: A major. Language: German. Preface: Litschauer, Walburga / Aschauer, Mario.
Schubert composed his great Piano Sonata in A major just a few months before his untimely death in 1828. The balance this work strikes between lyrical melody, emotional intimacy and pianistic brilliance makes it a highlight among his sonatas, not least because of its poetic “Andantino”.
This scholarly-critical edition by Walburga Litschauer is based on the Urtext of the “New Schubert Edition” and uses the autograph manuscript as the prime source. The edition is rounded off by a new foreword, valuable notes on performance practice as well as a Critical Commentary with information on performance-relevant alternative readings and Schubert’s notation of accents. Schubert’s drafts of the A major Sonata can be accessed on Bärenreiter’s website.
