🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： Piano Sonata No.11 in f-moll D625

Schubert’s Piano Sonata No. 11, D625, allows listeners to appreciate the contrast between tense development and lyrical expression in its surviving movements. In the Allegro, it is important to follow the subtle shifts of the motifs and the wide dynamic range, preserving the flow of each voice while creating a sense of breathing that does not simply press forward. In the following Scherzo, the light rhythms and placement of accents should be clearly defined, while the quick figures should remain supple rather than mechanical. The work’s fragmentary character as an unfinished sonata also deserves attention; restrained pedaling can bring out the harmonic changes and the significance of the rests.
