The Piano Sonata in E minor
D 566 by
Franz Schubert is a sonata for solo piano written in June
1817. The original manuscript appeared to lack a finale.[1] Ludwig Scheibler (1848-1921) was the first to suggest in 1905 that the Rondo in E, D.506 might be that movement.[2] The British composer and musicologist
Kathleen Dale produced the first edition using this suggestion in 1948.[3] The 1976 Henle edition by
Paul Badura-Skoda followed the same practice.[4]
Movements
I. Moderato
E minor
Harald Krebs has noted the use of Charles Fisk's "search for thematic identity" in his discussion of the sonata's opening theme.[5]
II. Allegretto
E major
III. Scherzo: Allegro vivace - Trio
A-flat major
(IV. Rondo: Allegretto, D 506)
E major
D 506 has been associated with the last piece of
Fünf Klavierstücke (D 459A/3) and the Adagio D 349 too as a set of movements that might form a sonata.[6]
The work takes approximately 20 minutes to perform or 25–30 minutes with the rondo finale.
