🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： Piano Sonata No.3 in E-Dur D459

Schubert’s Piano Sonata No. 3 consists of five movements with contrasting characters. In the opening movement, singing melodies and contrasting motion unfold within a sonata-form design, while the following Scherzo stands out for its light rhythmic character. In the Adagio, the breathing of the melodic lines and the changing harmonies should be allowed to speak clearly, and the Minuet calls for a poised sense of meter. Through to the energetic momentum of the finale, performers should distinguish the character of each movement, paying attention not only to dynamics but also to the direction of each phrase and to avoiding blurred pedaling.
