G Major Op. 78 D 894-Schubert?s tuneful and buoyant Sonata in G major was published in April 1827 as a ?Fantasy or Sonata? to quote the heading of its first movement. His first reviewer noted that ?the beloved and talented Lieder composer has presented the music world with a fantasy in which he lets his inventiveness loose. He presents the pianist with a harmonic indulgence without however amassing too many difficulties to complicate the execution?.Our scholarly-critical Urtext edition based on the definitive New Schubert Edition presents the sonata in a spacious new engraving with practical page turns. The work is introduced by an updated Foreword (Ger/Eng) and detailednotes on key questions of performance practice e.g. pedalling and Schubert?s characteristic way of writing accents. Rounding off the edition is a Critical Commentary (Eng) containing alternative readings of relevance to the performer. Schubert?s rejected initial version of the second movement can be accessed via the Barenreiter website.- Scholarly-critical Urtext editions based on the New Schubert Edition- Spacious new engravings with practical page turns- Detailed notes on historical performance practice (Ger/Eng)- Updated Forewords (Ger/Eng) and Critical Commentaries (Eng)- Schubert?s rejected versions of individual movements accessible online

Franz Schubert wrote his Arpeggione Sonata for piano and arpeggione, a hybrid instrument that was part guitar, part violoncello and fashionable at that time. The version for violin and piano has survived in a manuscript of parts from the days of Schubert which has become accessible only recently and is quite a sensation in the early 19th-century violin repertoire. The edition follows, for the most part, the text of Schubert's extant autograph and the contemporary violin part. / Violon Et Piano
