| From 1pm. Victor Braojos Piano Chopin – Fantaisie in F major Op.49 Schubert – Sonata in B flat major D.960 The great B-flat Sonata, written only weeks before his death in November 1828, closed forever Schubert’s catalog of solo piano works. What a final-year legacy. The B-flat Sonata must be considered extraordinary. Like the first two of the last three sonatas, it is an expansive composition, each of its four movements built on a large scale. From the exalted opening bars to the exuberant final ones, pure inspiration never faltered; substance and craft are married in a miraculous union. |
