Info for Franz Schubert Fantasie, D. 940, Rondeau, D. 608, Andantino varié, D. 823, Eight Variations, D. 624, Allegro, D. 947 Lebensstürme

Between April 1813 and June 1828, Schubert wrote some 32 scores requiring a partner or pupil. For him, the piano four hands was ‘always a place of exchange and dialogue, a symbol of fraternal communion within the same affective universe’, as Brigitte Massin summed it up so well. In addition to dances, marches, Ländler, divertimenti, variations and varied themes, Schubert left a modest, highly moving testament in the Fantasy in F minor, a masterpiece of the genre. Here it is coupled with a few artful examples of this new literature for an instrument that had just found its technical optimisation in the invention of the double escapement.
