Schubert - Piano Sonata No 20

Franz Schubert's Piano Sonata No. 20 in A major, D. 959 - III. Scherzo. Allegro vivace. Composed in the final year of his life, 1828, this sonata is part of Schubert's last three piano sonatas, which are considered some of his greatest works for the piano. The third movement, Scherzo: Allegro vivace, is a spirited and whimsical piece, showcasing Schubert's unique blend of lyrical melodies and rhythmic playfulness. The lively and intricate motifs offer a delightful contrast to the more introspective and dramatic movements of the sonata, capturing the listener's imagination with its vivacity and charm.

Schubert was heavily influenced by Beethoven, whom he greatly admired. This sonata, along with the other late sonatas, shows Schubert's attempt to honor Beethoven's legacy while forging his own path in the realm of piano music.
