SCHUBERT'S PIANOFORTE SONATAS
Played by JAMES
CHING Grosse (Groat) Sonata in B Flat, No. 3
2nd and 3rd Movements
THE second movement, although in a strongly
J- contrasted key, C Sharp Minor, is in the same quiet meditative mood as the first, which was played yesterday evening. It falls into three sections, of which the third is a repetition of the first with a. slightly more elaborate bass; the same rhymthic figure persists through both. Tho middle section has an uninterrupted melody in the Major.
The third movement is a very vivacious and delicate Scherzo, in strong contrast with the quiet mood of the first two. It is almost mischievous in the merry way in which the theme jumps about from treble to bass ; only in tho short Trio is there a hint of the mysticism of the earlier movements.
