Piano Sonata in E major, D. 459 (Schubert)
The Piano Sonata No. 3 in E major D. 459 is a work for solo piano, composed by Franz Schubert in 1816. It was first published in 1843, after the composer's death, by Carl August Klemm in Leipzig.[1] Unusual for piano sonatas of this time period, the sonata is in five movements. Because of this, the first publisher named the work Fünf Klavierstücke.
Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl has noted that Klemm had compiled the movements for his 1843 publication of this work from a number of different Schubert compositions. Furthermore, she notes the "fragmentary" nature of the work, because Schubert had broken off the sonata at the close of its development section.[1]
[edit] Movements
- I. Allegro moderato : E major : with particular form like Mozart (recapitulation in the subdominant)
- II. Scherzo : E major
- III. Adagio : C major
- IV. Scherzo con trio : A major

Daniel Coren has summarised the nature of the recapitulation in the fourth movement of this sonata.[2]
