No other great composer has left so many works for piano four-hands as Franz Schubert – altogether 54 (32 of these with opus number): fantasies, dances, marches, variation The pieces are chronologically arranged in the three Henle Urtext volumes showcasing Schubert’s piano duets.s, rondos, sonatas etc. – Playing music together, often in a social circle, was a precious pastime of Schubert’s circle of friends. The young composer provided the musical background for these rousing concerts and exuberant performances. Volume I contains three very early pieces from the years 1810 to 1813; the other works stem predominantly from the greater part of the year 1818, and which include the splendid Grande Sonate in B flat major D 617. The final section is comprised of two pieces from works that are chronologically difficult to situate and to lay down an exact time of origin; one of these, Allegro Moderato und Andante, D 968, was occasionally also designated as “Sonatine” and was written most probably for instructional purposes.
