    Schubert, Arpeggione Sonata D 821 For Viola (Henle)

    Few works demonstrate the ability of great music to outlive the instrument for which it was conceived quite like Franz Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata in A Minor, D. 821. Composed in 1824 for the arpeggione—a six-stringed bowed instrument that soon disappeared from regular use—the sonata was not published until 1871, decades after Schubert’s death. Today, the work survives primarily through performances on other instruments, particularly cello and viola, and has become one of the most important substantial works in the viola and piano repertoire. This Henle Urtext edition is especially well suited to musicians seeking a carefully researched musical text for serious study and performance.
    The sonata unfolds across three movements of strikingly different character, from the expansive lyricism and flowing passagework of the opening Allegro moderato to the intimate Adagio and graceful final Allegretto. For the violist, its challenges extend well beyond technical accuracy: long-range phrase architecture, tonal colour, fluid shifting, precise intonation, bow distribution, vibrato, and an intimate musical partnership with the pianist are fundamental to a convincing interpretation. Frequently encountered in advanced study and professional recital repertoire, Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata rewards performers who can combine technical assurance with expressive maturity and stylistic sensitivity.
    Movements:
    I. Allegro moderato
