As part of the Festival Radio France Occitanie Montpellier
Alain Planès plays three works by Schubert of very different moods and physiognomies. If only for the contemplative, heart-rending first movement of the Sonata-Fantaisie, don't miss this Schubertian escapade.
THE PROGRAM
FRANZ SCHUBERT 1797-1828
Piano Sonata in A Major, D 664, Op.120
Allegro moderato
Andante
Allegro
Three Klavierstücke for piano D 946
Allegro assai ? Andante ? Andantino
Allegretto
Allegro
Piano Sonata "Fantasy" in G Major, D 894, Op.78
Molto moderato e cantabile
Andante
Menuetto. Allegro moderato
Allegretto
Schubert's piano sonatas are just as captivating as Beethoven's monumental thirty-two, but more secretive: half of Schubert's twenty-three sonatas remain fragmentary or unfinished. Alain Planès has brought together here two that have survived in their entirety.
Sonata no. 13, contemporary with the Trout Quintet, is a work of relative insouciance, concise and smilingly melancholy. The much larger Sonata no. 18 was published in separate movements, the first of which was entitled Fantaisie, a title that has been retained to designate the entire sonata. Schumann called it "the most perfect of all in spirit and form".
As for the three Klavierstücke, composed a few weeks before Schubert?s death, they have all the makings of a new series of Impromptus, the fourth of which will be forever missed.
