Schubert Sonata For Arpeggione & Piano In A Minor Edition For Cello (Breitkopf & Härtel)

Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata is a masterpiece of music and is considered one of the most important works in Breitkopf & Härtel's catalogue. Recently, it underwent a comprehensive and meticulous scholarly revision, covering every aspect of it. The revision included a thorough examination of all the sources, resulting in a renewed understanding of the work's history. 

The Arpeggione Sonata's originality lies in its unusual solo instrument, the arpeggione, which drew significant interest when it was first published. However, in its first edition in 1871, the arpeggione was replaced by a violin and violoncello. Franz Beyer carefully examined the sources for this new edition and ensured that the work was now split into two separate publications. 

The revised version of the Arpeggione Sonata is a magnificent piece of music that showcases Schubert's exceptional talent and creativity.
