The Piano Sonata in E major, 157 is a piano sonata with three movements composed by Franz Schubert in February 1815.〔Epstein 1888, p 2-15〕 The Allegro 154 is an early version of its first movement.〔Badura-Skoda 1997, p 243〕 ==Extant movements of the sonata D 157== The piano sonata 157 has three known movements. Some commentators describe the first movement of the sonata as by far the most interesting, as it shows Schubert breaking away from the restrictions on harmonic progressions his teacher Antonio Salieri had imposed for vocal music,〔Litschauer 2000〕 and as one of his happiest inspirations, prefiguring his later trade marks, while the remaining two movements are described as somewhat run of the mill.〔David Doughty in sleeve notes of Brilliant Classics 99678/9〕 Others see in the first movement rather unconvincing unorthodoxies lacking invention, while the other two movements are more musically satisfying, with reminiscences of Beethoven and some of Schubert's later compositions.〔Newbould 1999〕 ;I. Allegro ma non troppo : E major. :The first movement serves as a bright, apt opener to the sonata, introducing both the nature and key of the piece in an imaginative and exciting way. It was composed from 18–21 February 1815.〔Arrebola 2012〕 :The theme of the first movement is not especially melodic. Rather, it sets out to explore the key of E major using two types of contrast: chords vs. arpeggios and scales, and legato vs. staccato. After the opening E major chord, there is an ascending, legato arpeggio, which is met by a fast, downward scale, marked staccato. This pattern is repeated in the dominant, submediant, and finally the subdominant chords. All this together makes up the main tune.〔 :The secondary themes all have basically the same elements: the left hand playing legato arpeggiations of chords, while the right hand plays staccato chordal melodies,〔 interspersed with multiple grace notes. :The movement includes the conventional repeat of its exposition section, comprising three out of the total of 8 pages in the movement. Interestingly, there are also a few very long rests in the movement, a couple of which last up to two full measures. Such rests would reappear in his later work, like his last sonatas.〔 ;II. Andante : E minor. :The movement is in rondo form, with two episodes. The theme is essentially harmonic.〔 The second occurrence of the theme is, somewhat unusually, simplified instead of embellished, and in this form is quite similar to the opening of Schubert's unfinished seventh symphony in E major.〔 The movement is in siciliana rhythm.〔 ;III. Menuetto, Allegro vivace - Trio : A scherzo in B major, with trio in G major. The trio has some similarities to that of Schubert's later D major piano sonata, D 850: both trios move in almost constant crotchets and have the same key, sometimes even sharing harmonic progressions.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Piano Sonata in E major, D 157 (Schubert)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
