Pièces Tardives

Descriptif : Following the newly engraved publications of Schubert’s “Moments Musicaux” (BA 9647) and “Impromptus” (BA 9648), the composer’s late piano works are now to be published in a scholarly-critical Urtext edition that will meet the demands of today’s performers. Schubert’s popular “Ungarische Melodie” D 817, inspired by gypsy melodies, was composed in 1824; his “Allegretto in C minor” D 915 was written in the spring of 1827; a little later, at the latest in 1828, he also wrote his “Drei Klavierstücke” D 94, which are closely related in form to his “Moments Musicaux”.'
