Schubert: Fantasie In F Minor & Other Piano Duets

Andreas Staier, Alexander Melnikov

''In Upper Austria, I find my compositions everywhere, especially in the monasteries of Sankt Florian and Kremsmünster, where with the help of a decent pianist I performed my four-hand variations and marches with great success.'' So wrote Franz Schubert in 1825, referring to the popular nineteenth-century genre that publishers were always after him to produce. This collection of music for four hands featuring Andreas Staier and Alexander Melnikov playing a period fortepiano includes the powerful Fantasie in F minor, one of the tragic masterpieces of Schubert's last year.
