Piano Sonata in E minor, D 566 (Schubert)

The Piano Sonata in E minor D 566 by Franz Schubert is a sonata for solo piano written in June 1817. The Rondo D. 506 is most likely the fourth movement according to Martino Tirimo.

Movements

I. Moderato

E minor

Harald Krebs has noted the use of Charles Fisk's "search for thematic identity" in his discussion of the sonata's opening theme.^[1]

II. Allegretto

E major

III. Scherzo: Allegro vivace - Trio

A-flat major

(IV. Rondo: Allegretto, D 506)

E major

D 506 has been associated with the last piece of Fünf Klavierstücke (D 459A/3) and the Adagio D 349 too as a set of movements that might form a sonata.^[2]

The work takes approximately 20 minutes to perform or 25-30 minutes with the rondo finale.
