SCHUBERT'S PIANOFORTE SONATAS
Played by JAMES CHING
Grosse (Great) Sonata in B Flat, (4th
Movement)
Sonata, in E Flat, Op 122 {1st Movement)
THE last movement of this4great' Sonata, although the minor mode lends it some. thing of wistfulness, begins with a sprightly little tune which returns ever and anon, interrupted by more melodious song-like tunes.
NOT quite on so grand a scale as the B Flat Sonata, the Sonata in E Flat is, nevertheless, an important work, which would be regarded as long, were it not for the much greater length of some-of Schubert's other pieces. It begins very happily with a tune made of the common chord, and the second main theme has something whimsical in its character. The movement is built on the orthodox plan and the theme made of the common chord has alarge say in the working out and in the final section.
