Violin Sonata in A major, D 574 (Schubert)

The Violin Sonata No. 4 (also known as the "Duo" or "Grand Duo") in A major, Op. posth. 162, D 574, for violin and piano by Franz Schubert was composed in 1817. This sonata, composed one year after his first three sonatas for the same instruments, is a much more individual work, showing neither the influence of Mozart, as in these previous works, or of Rossini, as in the contemporaneous 6th Symphony.[1]

Structure

The Sonata has four movements:

  1. Allegro moderato (A major), sonata form
  2. Scherzo: presto (E major), with C major trio
  3. Andantino (C major), loose ternary form
  4. Allegro vivace (A major), sonata form

Reception
gollark: Some difficult things are just interesting puzzly things which are frustrating at worst.
gollark: Some hardships are really awful and do not give you much feeling of reward for overcoming it. Some you *can't* really overcome (with current technology) e.g. terminal cancer.
gollark: Yes, there is not *actually* any enforced symmetry like this.
gollark: Like how people are mortal and thus decide that death is obviously good because [OBVIOUS RATIONALIZATION] and not evil.
gollark: I mean the generalized thing where once you are in a situation you probably can't escape from you *may* just trick yourself into thinking the situation is cool and good.
