The Piano Sonata No. 9 in B major, D. 575 by Franz Schubert is a sonata for solo piano, posthumously published as Op. 147. Schubert composed the sonata in 1817, in four movements:

  1. Allegro ma non troppo
  2. Andante in E major
  3. Scherzo: Allegretto in G major, with trio in D major
  4. Allegro giusto

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 literally transcribes the exposition.[1]
