Piano Sonata in E minor, D 566 (Schubert)
(Redirected from Piano Sonata in E minor, D. 566 (Schubert))
The Piano Sonata in E minor D 566 by Franz Schubert is a sonata for solo piano written in June 1817. The original manuscript appeared to lack a finale.[1] Ludwig Scheibler (1848–1921) was the first to suggest in 1905 that the Rondo in E, D.506 might be that movement.[2] The British composer and musicologist Kathleen Dale produced the first edition using this suggestion in 1948.[3] The 1976 Henle edition by Paul Badura-Skoda followed the same practice.[4]
The work takes approximately 20 minutes to perform or 25–30 minutes with the rondo finale.
