Franz Schubert
Franz Schubert, the prolific Austrian composer, left an indelible mark on the classical and early Romantic music eras despite his tragically short life. Born in Vienna in 1797, Schubert's musical genius blossomed from a young age, and by the time of his untimely death at 31, he had composed over 1,000 pieces, including more than 600 Lieder (art songs), seven complete symphonies, and a wealth of chamber, instrumental, and vocal works. His compositions, such as "Erlkönig," "Ave Maria," the "Unfinished" Symphony, and the song cycles "Die schöne Müllerin" and "Winterreise," showcase his unparalleled ability to convey deep emotion and poetic narrative through music. Schubert's mastery of the piano, his innovative approach to songwriting, and his prolific output make him a cornerstone of classical music, beloved by enthusiasts and musicians alike.

This album, set for release on February 14, 2025, under the Piano 21 label, offers a rich tapestry of Schubert's musical genius, spanning a duration of 1 hour and 19 minutes.

Following this, the album presents the "Piano Sonata in A Major, D. 664," a work that exemplifies Schubert's mastery of sonata form. The sonata's three movements—Allegro moderato, Andante, and Allegro—demonstrate Schubert's ability to blend classical structure with romantic expression.
