Franz Schubert
Schubert's Piano Sonata in G Major, D. 894, composed in 1826, represents one of his later piano works. The inspiration behind this sonata came during a period of Schubert's life when his health was declining, and he sought to explore new musical horizons. This composition is characterized by its blend of lyricism, harmonic innovation, and structural complexity. Schubert introduced longer and more elaborate forms, moving beyond the traditional sonata-allegro structure.

Leon Fleisher
A student of Arthur Schnabel, one of the great Schubert revivalists of the 20th-century, the late Leon Fleisher presents a master class on the exposition of Schubert's heavenly G Major Sonata, D. 894 with Rachel Naomi Kudo at the piano. Kudo's playing is so refined and elegant that Fleisher is at times at a loss for criticism, though he digs deeper and offers strategies to help Kudo achieve more of a lilt in the pervasive rocking rhythm, and encourages her to explore even more characters and colors in her voicing and phrasing.
