Schubert, Franz: Works for Piano four-hands, Volume III
Urtext Edition without fingering, clothbound. (Kahl, Willi)
In the three Henle Urtext volumes featuring Schubert's four-hand piano music, the works are arranged chronologically.
Volume III contains nine pieces dating from the last three years of Schubert's life, thus his mature works in this genre. This includes the famous Fantasie in f minor D 940 (see also the individual edition HN 180) and the equally beloved Duo in a minor D 947, which was first published posthumously with the nickname ''LebensstŘrme''. Both date from spring 1828.
