Schubert’s “Sonata in B-flat major” was composed in 1828 and is probably the last instrumental work which he completed. This Urtext edition edited by Walburga Litschauer contains an updated foreword (Ger/Eng) and a critical commentary (Eng) documenting all significant readings of the sources which are relevant for the interpretation of this work. It also takes Schubert’s idiosyncratic, sometimes unclear writing of accents into account.
The edition is newly-engraved and contains practical page turns as well as information on performance practice issues by Mario Aschauer.

Sonata for Piano B-flat Major D960
I love this piece. For years, my familiarity with Barenreiter products was limited to their complete boxed sets of master composers, ie., WA Mozart 1791-1991 & my favorite Neue Bach ausgabe of the orgelwerke. My favorite Urtext pubs. Their quality is unsurpassed. No complaints except the new car feeling I get from receiving something as tactile as a shrink-wrapped printed score in my mail. I fear breaking it in or simply ruining it by touching it. It replaces an inferior edition I had, printed 100 years ago in the USA. Unbeknownst to me were the egregious well intentioned cuts the late sonatas suffered in the past from previous scholars. Schumann warned against the practice of cuts for these late works' heavenly lengths. Beethoven admired Schubert's divine spark.
