While Franz Schubert was not the first Viennese composer to greatly expand the
scope of the piano sonata, he introduced many innovations into the sonata form and cycle,
broadening them and stretching their boundaries both internally and externally. In this paper I
analyze Schubert’s Sonata in A Minor D. 845 (Op. 42), focusing on its first movement. This
ambitious work, completed in 1825, was the first of only three sonatas published during the
composer’s lifetime. In performance, this sonata, aptly entitled Premiere Grande Sonata, typically
lasts about forty minutes, with the first (sonata) movement and the second (theme with
variations) being of almost identical length when played in prescribed tempi. In my analysis of
the first movement I will focus on methods employed by Schubert for the purpose of expanding
musical time and space—resulting in what Carl Dahlhaus has dubbed the lyric-epic quality in
Schubert.
