Piano Sonata in F-sharp minor, D 571 (Schubert)
The Piano Sonata in F-sharp minor 571, was composed by Franz Schubert in July 1817. The sonata was first published long after the composer's death in 1888 by Breitkopf & Härtel.
The sonata is incomplete, consisting of only a single movement, and even that was abandoned by the composer before completion. Other hands, such as Howard Ferguson, Noël Lee, and Martino Tirimo, have attempted to realise Schubert's assumed intentions. These hypothetical completions of the sonata have been drawn from such separately published pieces as the piece in A major, D. 604, and the Allegro vivace in D major and Allegro in F-sharp minor, D. 570.Movement
