Description

In 1823, Franz Schubert composed his Piano Sonata op. 143 in A minor, marking a new phase in his sonata oeuvre. Departing from the pianistic brilliance of his earlier "Wanderer Fantasy," this sonata exhibits formal cohesion and mature originality, showcasing a wealth of color and sonority that has made it one of Schubert's most frequently performed works. For this Urtext edition, the composer's autograph served as the authoritative source, with the posthumous first edition consulted for comparative purposes only.
