Artur Schnabel plays Schubert Sonata D959

The three piano sonatas numbered 958 in C minor, 959 in A major and 960 in B-flat major in Deutsch's catalogue of Franz Schubert's complete works are the composer's last major compositions for the piano, often referred to as Last Sonatas. They were written during the last months of Schubert's life, between the spring and autumn of 1828, but were not published until about ten years after his death, in 1838-39.
