The Piano Sonata in B major D 575 by Franz Schubert is a sonata for solo piano, posthumously published as Op. 147 and given a dedication to Sigismond Thalberg by its publishers. Schubert composed the sonata in August 1817.
The work takes approximately 24 minutes to perform.
Music
The sonata has four movements:
- Allegro ma non troppo (B major)
- Andante (E major)
- Scherzo: Allegretto – Trio (G major, D major)
- Allegro giusto (B major)
The first movement has a four-key exposition (B major, G major, E major, F♯ major).1 Daniel Coren has noted that the first movement is the only such movement in Schubert's sonatas in which the recapitulation is an exact transposition of the exposition.2
