About This Item
Schubert's early death left us with an enormous amount of unfinished and fragmentary pieces, many of which are masterpieces. His piano sonatas are an unusual case -comprising eleven completed sonatas, ten fragmentary ones and four other fragmentary movements. Two of these fragmentary sonatas are juxtaposed in this program the mysterious early fragment in F sharp minor D 571 and the epic Sonata in C major D 840 Reliquie, followed by Michael Finnissy's new Vervollständigung von Schuberts D 840, commissioned and premiered by Yehuda Inbar in May 2017, and receiving it's premiere recording on this . The album culminates with Jörg Widmann's Idyll und Abgrund Six Schubert Reminiscences for Piano.
