Abstract Details

2011, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Piano.
As a practical performance guide, this document identifies performance issues for Franz Schubert’s Piano Sonata in B-flat Major, D. 960, and proposes possible solutions. The introduction provides a brief historical background of Schubert’s piano sonatas in general and the B-flat Sonata in particular. Chapter one demonstrates how a harmonic analysis of the B-flat Sonata can inform such performance issues as timing, pacing, and tone color. Chapter two concerns performance practice issues related to playing this sonata, such as tempos, repeat signs, dynamics, pedaling, rhythm, and memorization. Through a comparison of two performing editions and a critical edition, chapter three suggests the best editions for the B-flat Sonata. Consequently, I hope this document will become a practical source to help pianists interpret and perform Schubert’s B-flat Sonata.
