{"product_id":"piano-sonata-a-minor-op-post-164-d-537","title":"Piano Sonata a minor Op. Post. 164 D 537","description":"Franz Schubert seems to have been particularly attracted to A-minor. Not just one but three of his piano sonatas are in this key. The earliest of them, D 537, was composed in March 1817 and was simultaneously his first completed piano sonata ever. It is characterised by concise brevity. The three-movement form dispenses with the usual scherzo. It is far removed from the drama of its a-minor sibling works; meandering modulations often lead to distant harmonic regions and lighten the mood to major - significantly, the sonata also ends in A major. Henle's Urtext edition is based on the autograph, which is preserved in the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris; a contemporary manuscript copy and the posthumous first edition were only used for comparison purposes. The preface by Schubert expert Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl and the detailed comment section provide information about the work's genesis and about open questions concerning the musical text. The fingerings by renowned Schubert interpreter Martin Helmchen are a further plus point of this new edition.","brand":"Henle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68108184289323,"sku":"210000067657","price":23.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1959\/9601\/files\/piano-sonata-a-minor-op-post-164-d-537-8752169.png?v=1793734100","url":"https:\/\/remenyi.com\/products\/piano-sonata-a-minor-op-post-164-d-537","provider":"Remenyi House of Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
