Which Schubert song was turned into a piece of chamber music?

Die Forelle

Is Schubert hard to play?

Schubert’s piano music is incredibly difficult to play, technically and musically. I find it much more challenging than Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Liszt or Chopin. Anyone can hack through the notes in Schubert-and that’s what makes it all the more difficult.

What happened to Schubert’s piano sonatas?

Written between this Autumn turning point and September 1828, his three last piano sonatas (D. 958 to 960) appear more than any other works of this time to be haunted by the solitary Winter journey of this “Wanderer” – this shadowy traveler in whom it is so tempting to see the silhouette of Schubert.

What makes Schubert’s ‘Trout’ Quintet special?

Schubert is at his most buoyant and delightful in his ‘Trout’ Quintet, one of his best works.
