Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Schubert?s piano sonatas reflect the entire cosmos of his distinctive writing, spanning from an early experimentation with this form to the iconic last three sonatas, which the composer completed in 1828, the last year of his life. All three volumes are equipped with informative prefaces on the genesis and sources, as well as valuable notes on piano playing in Schubert's time (including articulation, pedal usage, ornamentation) by Mario Aschauer - with a focus on Schubert's characteristic notation of accents. A quick location of works and individual movements is facilitated by running titles at the top of the right-hand pages with indications of opus and movement numbers. The Critical Commentary lists in particular readings relevant to interpretation. Schubert's drafts and sonata fragments are accessible via the Bärenreiter website.

Masterpiece Edition-Franz Schubert was born in Vienna in 1797. He was involved in music at an early age learning music theory and many different instruments including piano violin organ and voice. During his brief but prolific life he wrote a wide variety of music. His compositions included symphonies piano sonatas piano duets operas masses chamber works and several hundred songs. Among the hundreds of songs the most loved and revered is Ave Maria. Ave Maria was first published in 1826 under the German title Ellen's Gesang 111: Hymne and die Jungfrau (Ellen's Song 111: Hymn to the Virgin). The text used was taken from a novel written by Sir Walter Scott entitled 'Lady of the Lake'. It was then translated into German as it appeared in Schubert's song. After Schubert's death in 1828 the Latin text began being used and eventually surpassed either the use of the German or English text. 'Antiphon of the Blessed Virgin' is a text which has been used in religious contexts since the beginning of Christianity. This vocal classic was originally envisioned as a devotional piece but over time the magnificent beauty of both music and text has made this song equally popular for secular performances. Schubert's Ave Maria arranged for High Voice is recommended for Soprano or Tenor ranges. We have included a separate vocal line with lyrics written in Latin just above the piano accompaniment stave(s). The English translation is also included to explain this fabled story. This Minstrel Press Edition of Schubert's Ave Maria for High Voice is exclusively distributed by Santorella Publications.
