Schubert - Sonata Movement D.571 in F sharp minor, played by Victor Stanislavsky

Recorded live at the Preston Bradley Hall, Chicago Cultural Center, Feb. 2012 www.VStanislavsky.com Few informed musicians today would dispute the assertion that Franz Schubert's total piano sonata output is the greatest collection next to Beethoven's. Yet, uncertainty still persists as to the order and numbering of these works and even their precise content. Long after his death a fragment of the first movement of an F sharp minor sonata by Schubert is found and catalogued as D.571. Believed to be composed in July 1817, this fragment was published in 1888, 71 years later. The expressive and exquisitely beautiful main subject is based on a repeating tone, clear trademark element found in many of Schubert's compositions. The tender and somewhat nostalgic atmosphere of the beginning is kept undisturbed almost throughout the whole work, while the shifts between major and minor keys are constant and unexpected. Given that the essential parts of this Sonata-form movement were left by Schubert, the completion of it is, to a large extent, a mere technical process with clear theoretical guidelines, result of which can be trusted to have the closest resemblance possible with that of Schubert's, had he completed the work himself. The rendition heard here introduces this work as it was completed by the Wiener Urtext Edition conducted by Martino Tirimo.
