Piano Sonata in B major, D 575 (Schubert)

The Piano Sonata in B major D 575 by Franz Schubert is a sonata for solo piano, posthumously published as Op. 147. Schubert composed the sonata in August 1817.

Movements

I. Allegro ma non troppo (B major)

Uses a four-key exposition (B major, G major, E major, F-sharp major).[1]

II. Andante (E major)

III. Scherzo: Allegretto – Trio (G major, D major)

IV. Allegro giusto (B major)

The work takes approximately 24 minutes to perform.

Daniel Coren has noted that the first movement of this sonata is the only such movement in Schubert's sonatas where the recapitulation is an exact transposition of the exposition.[2]
