About this product
Schubert composed his Sonata No. 4 in A minor (D. 537), a work of unabashed Romanticism, in 1817. Whilst the outer movements are highly dramatic in character, the central slow movement features a long and enchanting melody of an almost fragile delicacy. He returned to this melody eleven years later in 1828, using it as the theme of the last movement of the Sonata No. 19 in A major D. 959, his penultimate sonata. This Allegretto is perhaps the most InchSchubertianInch of all it is generous, graceful, full of hope despite a weighty melancholy, and always in motion. Schubert's return to the melody that he had composed when he was twenty years old attests his particular love for it; it was his personal hymn, his secret melody.

The new album Schubert Explorations by pianist Mathieu Gaudet is the fourth volume in his wonderful collection The Complete Sonatas and Major Works for Piano of the great German composer Franz Schubert. Between his early Inchpost-MozarteanInch sonatas and late masterpieces of symphonic proportions, Schubert spent the years 1817 and 1818 exploring the possibilities of the piano sonata, through unusual harmonic relationships, intensive use of trills, heightened virtuosity, lengthy chord repetitions and extreme dynamic contrasts. We find on the album two works from this early period as well as two others from 1823-24 which are true jewels that contain all the essence of his genius.

Schubert Architect by pianist Mathieu Gaudet is the eighth volume from his remarkable collection The Complete Sonatas and Major Works for Piano of the great Austrian composer Franz Schubert. Schubert revered Beethoven and regarded his piano sonatas, string quartets, and symphonies as models of coherently elaborated architecture, harmonious works with affirmed individuality. This album features the great Sonata in C minor, D. 958 that reminds us of Beethoven. There is the ardent, tragic tone, deployed by the Bonn master in his great masterpieces. The whole work exudes fervour and heroism. It's slow movement is at once exquisitely tender and dramatic, and it's first and fourth, especially, display peerless compositional virtuosity.
