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.
