Piano Sonata in a Minor

On this, the seventh installment in Gerhard Oppitz's survey of the piano music of Franz Schubert, we travel from the early Andante in C major, D 29, a surprisingly mature work by the 15-year-old composer, to the Adagio in E major D 612, dating from 1818. The featured work is Schubert's Piano Sonata No. 4 in A minor, D 537 (1817), considered the composer's first successful essay in this genre. However, it is in the smaller pieces, that we encounter the Schubert's most intimate musical utterance. Despite their brevity, even these miniatures aspire to greatness and reveal the full extent of Schubert's boundless imagination.

Gerhard Oppitz is universally recognized as one of the leading exponents of German Romanticism and is, without question, the ideal interpreter for these works. Oppitz's approach is simple and straightforward: let the composer speak for himself! His intelligent, sensitive and understated interpretations make an ideal advocate for the music of Schubert.
