Piano Sonata in B major, D 575 (Schubert)

The Piano Sonata in B major D 575 by Franz Schubert is a sonata for solo piano, posthumously published as Op. 147 and given a dedication to Sigismond Thalberg by its publishers. Schubert composed the sonata in August 1817.

Movements

I. Allegro ma non troppo (B major)

Uses a four-key exposition (B major, G major, E major, F-sharp major).[1]

II. Andante (E major)

III. Scherzo: Allegretto – Trio (G major, D major)

IV. Allegro giusto (B major)

The work takes approximately 24 minutes to perform.

Daniel Coren has noted that the first movement of this sonata is the only such movement in Schubert's sonatas where the recapitulation is an exact transposition of the exposition.[2]

gollark: Not very GOOD sed syntax.
gollark: Oh, that's a command.
gollark: I mean the general sense of "you", since "one" sounds weirdly formal.
gollark: I mean, they're programmed with manual memory management somewhere lower in the stack, obviously, but you don't have to touch that so it is much less hassle.
gollark: The fact that you do *not* need to do this is why we have lots of nice applications which do not leak memory, are secure, and can be programmed in reasonable time.
