Info for Schubert: Melodist

Schubert komponierte seine Sonate Nr. 4 in a-Moll (D. 537), ein Werk der ungeschminkten Romantik, im Jahr 1817. Während die Ecksätze hochdramatischen Charakter haben, erklingt im zentralen langsamen Satz eine lange und bezaubernde Melodie von fast zerbrechlicher Zartheit.

Elf Jahre später, 1828, kehrte er zu dieser Melodie zurück und verwendete sie als Thema des letzten Satzes der Sonate Nr. 19 in A-Dur D. 959, seiner vorletzten Sonate.

Dieses Allegretto ist vielleicht das »schubertischste« von allen: Es ist großzügig, anmutig, trotz einer gewichtigen Melancholie voller Hoffnung und immer in Bewegung. Schuberts Rückkehr zu der Melodie, die er im Alter von zwanzig Jahren komponiert hatte, zeugt von seiner besonderen Liebe zu ihr; sie war seine persönliche Hymne, seine heimliche Melodie.
